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 ISH-MOM on December 19, 2012 at 9:35pm: JJ - enjoy your time! And Merry Christmas to you!

Comment by JJ on December 19, 2012 at 6:43pm: Carol...congrats! Babies are always fun. Enjoy. I am telling Ted what to pack right now. I made sure that he has his passport (never know when you might need it!! LOL). Made sure that we have our swim suits, as well. Better have a jacket, just in case. As long as we have underwear, our meds and swimsuits, we can buy whatever we might need, if we forget something. Off in the morning! Merry Christmas to all.

Comment by ISH-MOM on December 19, 2012 at 4:52pm: Just watched the video of Jane... they are georgous!

Carol - congrats on the baby!

Comment by carol on December 19, 2012 at 2:52pm: JJ, have a wonderful trip.

Merry Christmas to all!!!

Comment by JJ on December 19, 2012 at 2:20pm: Here's the link to see Jane, our Navy Mom on the jason Davis Show. When the page comes up, wait for the picture on the video to load and you're good to go! http://kstp.com/article/26/ (hope it works since I am not very good at this)

Comment by NavyMomLG on December 19, 2012 at 11:42am: Jane - I missed the original airing of the show, so glad I read about it here. I am honored to have one of your creations!

Comment by MN Mom of MM on December 19, 2012 at 12:17am: Congrats on the grand baby Mrs Andy. and Linda congrats to you also. My sailor is coming home again on the 20th to the 6th. No word yet on the wayward paper or the transfer orders. He is working and living in Ballston Spa until God know when.(he says easy morning job then he goes and works out at the gym) I continue to believe there will be great outcome to all the wait. YES-YES -YES that was us on Jason Davis on the Road. Overwhelmed is all I can say about the response. 4 of us spent 5 hours this evening filling orders. about 3/4 of the way through them, and I am running low on inventory. But it is so much fun. Thanks linda for sharing with the NukeMoms. Wishing all an happy Holiday Season.

Comment by carol on December 17, 2012 at 2:46pm: Congrats, Mrs. Andy. They are so precious. Glad you got to spend some time getting to know her. Merry Christmas to you and yours.!!

Congrats to all those hard working sailors. They are wonderful!!
