OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.

DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.

DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Comment by JJ on April 15, 2010 at 11:28pm: How aweful to lose your pics! I have that problem with the computer downstairs. I hope you could recover them.

Comment by JJ on April 15, 2010 at 11:27pm: I think that they are really good about having us there as well......can you believe that I NOW get my computer to say..."I have mail " when someone replies to this sight!!! I don't get it.

Comment by carol on April 15, 2010 at 11:26pm: You are getting there. Didn't you get the update your husband got?

Comment by JJ on April 15, 2010 at 11:25pm: Takes me forever!

Comment by carol on April 15, 2010 at 11:22pm: That's ok, JJ. My phone froze up yesterday, about an hour before I was to take my son to lunch and then to the airport. If they can't do anything with it this weekend, when I can go to the store, I will have lost all my contact numbers and text pics of my grandkids :(

I thought the speakers were good, but I wish they hadn't had both of them on the same night.

My vote is for Buffalo Wild Wings. They are very accommodating.

Comment by JJ on April 15, 2010 at 11:12pm: Looks as though May 8th will be a good time to get together. Who's setting it up and where are we going? Anyplace where there is food will work for me.

I sent Julie a message earlier when I couldn't even get this thing to allow me to :make a comment". She was the only one I could send anything to. So she might be sending you all a message from me later on. On top of that, as far as I can tell when I click on "FOLLOW" it will send me an email when someone comments. Well, I had it clicked and I never get anything. So I am going to click it again to "STOP FOLLOWING" and then see what happens.

This is getting to be sorta like TEXTING...that doesn't work either!!

Comment by JJ on April 15, 2010 at 11:04pm: Didn't miss a thing! I so wanted to talk to you. I am trying to catch up on what's been happening here.

Comment by JJ on April 15, 2010 at 11:03pm: I have been having major problems with this computer!!

Comment by JJ on April 15, 2010 at 11:03pm: Hello....

Comment by carol on April 15, 2010 at 10:49pm: JJ, it was good to see you tonight. So sorry I left early, before the treats. I really had to get home. Did I miss anything?
