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."

Good luck to your son Ridgegirl. Just remind him to work hard and keep his eye on the "prize".

Lydia, that is a great thing your SIL does. Thank her for her service and let her know that we appreciate her for thinking of those who are in need.

Jaxietwo- Congrats to your son, glad you got to go for RSS graduation.  Feel free to ask any questions about Sierra, my son liked most of it.  he is excited now to be off to San Diego, on hold, then SERE, then FRS, according to his orders.  

Lydia, I think you had mentioned a church your son liked really well in SD - could you mention the name of that again? I'd like to tell my son about it.  Thanks!

Congrats, jaxietwo, on your son's graduation. Where is he going after Pensacola?

Comment by jaxietwo on May 24, 2014 at 8:30am

Good morning everyone!  Just got back from Pensacola - my boy graduated RSS and is going Sierra - class of 16 guys.  He really wanted Romeo but the whole class went Sierra. It was so nice to see him and see how mature he is now!

Good luck with the house hunt Lydia!

And Bayswan I may be asking questions about Sierra!

Comment by Bayswan on May 21, 2014 at 7:30pm
Headed to Pensacola for Sierra "A" school graduation- moved from Friday to Thursday, glad we are traveling today. Anyone else have a loved one graduating Sierra tomorrow? I'd be happy to try to get pics if you cannot attend. Send me a message.

Lydia-that picture is truly priceless! Simply gorgeous! Hope you find that special home quickly!
