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 AmyS on July 5, 2015 at 8:31am: Hello and good morning. I have a favor to ask, but first a quick backstory behind it. My husband was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer in Jan 2013. He entered hospice late April of this year and is now nearing the end of his journey. I just got the confirmation email from the Red Cross that my request for emergency leave for my son has been verified and sent to his command. My favor request is if you could say a little prayer that his leave is approved and that he makes it home before his dad passes. Thanks so much and I hope everyone had a safe holiday weekend.

Comment by JJ on July 4, 2015 at 9:54pm: Happy Independence Day to all. Let's all celebrate the occasion.

Comment by JJ on June 29, 2015 at 12:48pm: MN_MOM: I would have loved to attend the luncheon, however, the notice was so late in coming that there was no way I could attend. Maybe next time.

Comment by SaltyMama on June 27, 2015 at 2:43pm: Hi midwestnavymom, I've been meaning to post something too but life got crazy. I'm picking up my son tonight! He's home for a little while. Monday Tuesday Thursday or Fridays work after July 8 for lunch during the day.

Comment by MidwestNavyMom on June 27, 2015 at 1:19pm: Our son is home for a few weeks before going to his next base. So nice to have him home!! Yay :-) I will set up a lunch on a week day to get together. Is there a day that works best for everyone?

Comment by MN_MOM on June 19, 2015 at 2:16pm: Hello all.

Sorry for the short notice. I have had a crazy last couple of weeks.

Getting together tomorrow (Saturday) 6pm at 3 Squares in Maple Grove. Hope to see you there.

Comment by JJ on June 13, 2015 at 11:56pm: Just a reminder....ANYONE can set up a luncheon anywhere they want to have it.

Comment by MidwestNavyMom on June 12, 2015 at 10:49pm: I am off for the summer (yay!) so anything works for me.

Comment by MN Mom of MM on June 4, 2015 at 10:15pm: Lunch on a weekday(M-W-F) would work for me. I would try to combine it with some business I do with Edina Art center, so South or West metro location would work best.

Comment by AmyS on June 4, 2015 at 5:31pm: I could maybe sneak out of work for an hour or so for a weekday lunch. Weeknights and weekends won't work for me right now.
