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."

Hello everyone it is nice to see alittle action on here.
DavesMom glad you heard from your son. That is the hardest part....the waiting
Melissa sorry to hear your son is haveing a hard time of it. Hope his recovery from surgery is quick.That is a wonderful thing of you and your husband to take in the kids. My sister lives in Ozark and her kids live in Springfield. We have a timeshare in Hollister that we love so we are that way pretty often. Such a beautiful area.

Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Hi everyone, Melissa here in Springfield, Missouri. The weather is really nice and we are hoping for it to stay nice for the Holiday. We are going out of town Friday to take the kids south but they are so looking forward to it. These are the kids that my husband and I got permanent Legal Guardianship of this last May. They are all doing real good in school. The oldest boy is possibly going to go to Middle College this next year. In that program that was started last year, he will not only receive his High School Diploma but he will hopefully receive his Associate Degree from a Junior College here in Springfield. Hope everyone is going to have a great Holiday. Hopefully my son will call me. I know that he has to work on Thanksgiving so he is not able to come home. Right now he is stationed in Nebraska. He is still trying to recuperate from a knee injury that he sustained while working out on base. He had surgery back in August so hopefully it won't be to much longer. He has not been able to work out so he has gained a little bit of weight and the Commander is not real happy about that. Have a great Thanksgiving everyone.

Good morning Missouri! Happy Monday! It is nice to have such beautiful weather just hope it holds out alittle longer.

I had to look up where Dearborn is and that is about 3 hrs west from me. I travel that way to Olathe ks pretty often. I think there are several moms and aunts from that area though. Maybe they will come out and play haha
