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 August 24, 2011 at 11:31pm: I went to see The Help and loved it. I can't wait to read the book, which my book club is doing in Oct.

Comment by carols_kitchen on August 24, 2011 at 10:41pm: What is Final Destination 5 about?

Comment by Dodie on July 27, 2011 at 1:30pm: I watched Secretariat last night on Starz...Great movie!

Comment by carols_kitchen on July 27, 2011 at 1:14pm: Welcome to our new members. I've just gotten back from a whole week's vacation! Will take me a while to catch up.

Have not seen the trailer for "The Help" but it is a fantastic book. Also waiting for the first Stephanie Plum PI book to come out as the movie.

Comment by carol on July 19, 2011 at 1:46am: Yeah, The Getaway. That was it. It was violent.

Too bad about the Tom Hanks one. I was looking for a light comedy to see with my husband.

Did anyone see the trailer of "The Help" coming out in August? I think its about a girl writing from the houseworkers point of view.

Anyway, my sister and I try to go to see something light and humorous in August.

Comment by Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on July 19, 2011 at 1:10am: 'The Getaway,' great movie but very violent, Peckinpah I think?

In re your original question, the Tom Hanks movie has had some dismal reviews, unfortunately.

Comment by carol on July 19, 2011 at 12:42am: Understandable. Didn't he and Ali McGraw star in a movie together? I can't think of the title right now, buy I did go see it wayy long ago.

Comment by Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on July 18, 2011 at 11:00pm: Ah, I wasn't thinking either! Then again, my first 'crush' was on Steve McQueen, so you can understand where my mind went LOL

Comment by carol on July 18, 2011 at 10:40pm: I'm so sorry. I meant the one with Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts - "Larry Crowne".

Things are chaotic here, because my grandchildren have come to visit. :)

Comment by Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on July 18, 2011 at 10:30pm: Carol, do you mean "The Thomas Crown Affair" with Steve McQueen? (or the remake - not as good - with Pierce Brosnan?)
