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 February 4, 2017 at 10:42pm: What a great time was had by all. We met new moms and got to know more about them and their sailors. Here we are: Front from left to right: JJ, Barb, and Linda. Back row from left to right: Amy, Amanda and Rayna.

And here's the rest of the story....The late posting is due to the fact that my husband's new car that I was driving didn't quite make it into the garage. You see, our automatic closer on the garage door decided engage, hence coming down as I was going into the garage! It is suppose to come down at 8:00 NOT 7:00. Not only did I break the garage door, but now have to repair the roof of the new car. And so life goes!!! It's sorta funny if you think about it. Ask yourself, "Do I know anybody that this has happened to?" Now you can say YES.

Comment by carol on February 4, 2017 at 1:00pm: I just can't make it today...I'm so bummed. Have a great visit!

Comment by MidwestNavyMom on February 4, 2017 at 11:36am: Today is a go. There's some Navy Mom's coming from the facebook page also.

Comment by JJ on January 20, 2017 at 12:17am: That sounds PERFECT. If need be, you may have to call me since I don't always check my email during the day. But I try to check it before heading to bed.

Comment by carol on January 19, 2017 at 11:08pm: That sounds like a good idea.

Comment by MidwestNavyMom on January 19, 2017 at 10:27pm: Ok maybe I'll leave it for 3:30 for this one and we can always do a lunch another time. JJ as it gets closer if no one else is coming we can move it closer to us. Hope things are going ok with your mom.

Comment by carol on January 19, 2017 at 1:32am: I would prefer earlier, but I not sure I can make it for either time yet. I have 2 other commitments to juggle with. I will keep working on it, I would love to meet with you all.

Comment by JJ on January 19, 2017 at 12:18am: You can make it for whatever time works best for you. I like the 12:30 to 1:00 slot, but who am I? I am still working on getting a care provider to care for my mom, so I will need to know the time so I can make arrangements. I am planning on being there, wherever it is. I need a fix!!
