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 MN Mom of MM on November 16, 2013 at 12:56am: Hi Debbie, I am in Mankato. Not too far from you. We (3-4 of us) have met here in Mankato for lunch a couple times in the past year. Might that be a possibility for you?

Comment by Debbie on November 15, 2013 at 5:20pm: Hi. Is anybody here from SE MN? I'm in Austin

Comment by AmyS on November 15, 2013 at 5:20pm: Thanks Linda, I called and let them know that we will need two tables in the main room instead.

Comment by AmyS on November 15, 2013 at 4:20pm: Okay, I think I counted 6 for tomorrow so Perkins is holding the table in the sunroom for us, and if more make it we can move to two tables pushed together in the main room. Now to go home and print my pictures tonight..

Comment by JJ on November 14, 2013 at 11:23am: Two more days until the get together!! I can't wait. Printing out photos today so I have something to share. See you there.

Comment by carol on November 13, 2013 at 1:05pm: JJ, glad you are back safely. Can't wait to see the pictures.

Comment by JJ on November 12, 2013 at 11:45pm: Just arrived back from seeing my Navy Man and granddaughter! Both had birthdays so we were thrilled to be able to join in the fun! Kate was 6 and she is already all grown up! We haven't seen them for 22 months so it was great to be able to spend some time with the entire family. I am exhausted since we have been driving all day and I can't wait to get to bed, but had to check with my "other" family...my Navy moms before heading to bed!

Lauritz...the baby is adorable. There isn't anything sweeter than a baby. They smell so good that you just want to hug them forever!

I have pictures that I will share on Saturday!! The time was way too short but guess what? I can drive out there every two or three months if I want to!!! I found out that we can drive it in 14 and a half hours, so guess who is going to put some miles on her car? ME See you on Saturday!! Good Night

Comment by carol on November 11, 2013 at 11:52pm: Lauritz, What a DOLL!!! You are blessed.

JJ, hope you are enjoying yourself with the family.

To all your sons and daughters to have served and who are serving, Please Thank them for me. They are AWESOME!!
