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 morning!

Joanne, it sounds like you took one of my "short cuts." Everyone kids me because when Icome up with a shortcut it takes three times as long!

It's an overcast day today. So much so that we need lights on.

Pat, I hope Jenn is healing nicely.

You know Joanne I know we are friends, but really. TMI. LOL

Linda, Your trip over sounds great...so glad you were worrying for nothing! It also sounds like you are going to have a fantastic time! Enjoy.

Pat, I hope Jenn feels great today, or at least not uncomfortable. Fingers crossed for results, preferably good results, but at least results.

Have a good day.

About an hour or so away. My daughter will be happy.
Comment by JM-ISmomx2 on October 29, 2009 at 10:01pm
Oh and Joanne, I have no idea where Port Hueneme is. I will look it up. Watching this game is like watching the Angels/Yankees play. Score is 1 all.
Comment by JM-ISmomx2 on October 29, 2009 at 10:00pm
Deal Pat, first one is on me. Glad they got what they needed. We will wait patiently with you as you go. Both Joanne, Blondie, the rest of these wonderful ladies and me.
Comment by JM-ISmomx2 on October 29, 2009 at 9:07pm
ok let us know if they got enough this time. Hope so. And WE WANT ANswers. Sorry for yelling. If we are all worked up about this I can imagine how you are at this point. Prayers for both of you.
Comment by JM-ISmomx2 on October 29, 2009 at 8:59pm
Good idea Joanne, that's what i would do.
Comment by DC - G'mother of My Fav Sailor on October 29, 2009 at 7:28pm
Pat, I hope that you find out something soon. Waiting is by far one of the toughest things to do.
Comment by JM-ISmomx2 on October 29, 2009 at 6:34pm
And it was great information. I have felt like a sponge the past 7 months.
