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 carol on December 28, 2014 at 9:21pm: I'm so excited for you, Amy. We just got back from the airport to send ours back. ENJOY!!

Comment by AmyS on December 28, 2014 at 6:15am: So happy for those of you who had your sailor home for Christmas, the thought of those first hugs made me smile! I will get my hug today as mine is making his way home right now! I just found out Monday that he's coming home and am so excited:)

Comment by carol on December 25, 2014 at 3:52pm: Merry Christmas to all. We are enjoying our Sailor very much :)

Comment by JJ on December 24, 2014 at 7:35pm: Merry Christmas to all my Navy Moms! I am wishing that all of you are either going to HEAR from your kids or you will have them HOME with you this Holiday Season. Hoping all your wishes will come true!

Comment by JJ on December 15, 2014 at 2:24pm: Life"s too short! I love to have a good time and take every opportunity that I can to have that come true!! We should think about having a "Bring a friend" luncheon where we can bring our Husband, or friend, or other family member, so we can get to know our extended Navy family!

Comment by carol on December 15, 2014 at 12:24am: It did stay quiet in my purse while I went to the mall, ran to church to go through the songs I had to practice and to the $ Store. It was a good mouse. Not sure what Gary thinks...just that our luncheons are definitely crazy!

Comment by JJ on December 14, 2014 at 11:43pm: Ted swears by these traps with the extra large paddles. They have a hair-trigger and work better than any other traps that we have used. Besides "Skippy Peanut Butter" is a favorite of those little fury critters. Did Gary like your little white mouse? And did it stay "quiet" until you got it home? LOL

Comment by carol on December 14, 2014 at 9:18pm: It better be the only mouse in the house! Gary found decon in one of his old boots out in the garage today...Traps are being set!!
