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 NavyMomx3 on November 11, 2012 at 6:47am: Yesterday's luncheon was wonderful. Thank you for organizing this event even though you forgot about it! LOL Since I travel with my part-time job it causes me to miss many of the luncheons. So happy I was able to be home for this luncheon. You gals are all so special.

Comment by JJ on November 10, 2012 at 11:20pm: You should have seen Ted! What a hunk!! The renewal vows went without any problems. We had a blast. Every person that was invited came except for one person who had unexpected company that showed up unannounced! The bride looked fabulous in her lavender sequined dress. Glad that it is over. I have a bunch of photos to look through and put on a CD for her. Better get started.

Comment by carol on November 10, 2012 at 10:26pm: Nice picture, ladies! I'm so glad you had fun.

JJ, you dress up nicely :) Hope you made it in time.

Comment by MidwestNavyMom on November 10, 2012 at 6:08pm: Our get together today. Even had a teddy bear Sailor that played "Anchors Aweigh!"

Comment by carol on November 8, 2012 at 11:51pm: Shot, I'm missing the get together already. :)

Comment by Karen H. on November 8, 2012 at 10:00pm: I thought I would check in since it has been awhile. Many new things have happened. Made it through our first deployment with our son as apart of Operation Enduring Freedom. His tour was extended so that made it long. Glad is back on American soil. Where do you ladies meet in Blain? I would like to connect and meet you all.

Comment by JJ on November 8, 2012 at 6:35pm: LOL Maybe not to the nines...maybe to the two's or three's!! LOL Lavender is a good color for me, so that's the color of the day. I have to make sure all my batteries are charged and all my camera lens are clean so the pictures I take will be nice and clear. I hope I don't run into any problems. But Ted will be by my side so things will work out!

Comment by carol on November 8, 2012 at 1:05pm: Since I have to be in Plymouth by 1, I can't make it work :(

I miss it already...was looking forward to it. I also was looking forward to seeing you "dressed to the nines" :)
