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 MidwestNavyMom on January 1, 2013 at 3:36pm: ISH - Mom - I'm about a mile from there!

Comment by carol on December 31, 2012 at 7:44pm: Happy New Year to Everyone and your Families. Be safe tonight and Blessings in 2013.

We made it home safely yesterday, between all the snowy weather forecasted from MN through TX.

Comment by ISH-MOM on December 31, 2012 at 5:41pm: MidwestNavyMom - where abouts in Champlin are you? I am off 114th and 169 behind the cub foods area..

I would love to come and meet with you all. Saturdays are open for me. Never heard of Poor Richards.. sounds fun though

Happy New Year everyone! Stay safe everyone!

Comment by mn linda (nuke MM ELT Groton CT) on December 30, 2012 at 8:52pm: I can make it on the 19th. Going bridal shopping on the 12th with our oldest's fiance and we'll be in Charleston with Tim & Chelsea on the 26th.

Poor Richards would be good since we haven't had anything down south for awhile.

Comment by MN Mom of MM on December 30, 2012 at 8:34pm: What about Poor Richards at 494/100. That is about 70 miles, for us here in Mankato. I would try to get more of the moms from here to ride with me. Our sailor is still home till the 6th, so any of the other 3 saturdays(12,19,26) work for me. I could probably call ahead if you all are interested in that.

Comment by JJ on December 30, 2012 at 8:03pm: Anyone can set up the luncheon! Pick the place, date, and time, post it and hope for a good turn out!

Comment by mn linda (nuke MM ELT Groton CT) on December 30, 2012 at 12:36pm: Nothing is scheduled yet for January

Comment by MidwestNavyMom on December 30, 2012 at 12:30pm: Boy I haven't been on in awhile. Our son was on leave over Christmas. He came home a few days after turning 21. We had a great time! It's always hard to see him go.

MN Linda - Congratulations to Tim!

Mrs. Andy - Congrats on the new baby!

MN Mom of MM - Congrats on your TV appearance :-) I need to get a couple.

ISH-Mom - I'm in Champlin too.

Carol - Congratulations on the grandson!

JJ - Sorry your trip was cancelled. My daughter goes to college in Iowa and I was glad she was already home!

Hope I didn't miss anyone. Lots has been happening on this page :-) I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and best wishes in the New Year.!!

Are we doing a January get together?

Comment by NavyMomx3 on December 30, 2012 at 11:42am: My sailor is currently deployed. I knew he was out in a sub somewhere. He just posted on FB! My heart jumped when I saw his post. He was posting from the Philippines.
