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."

I did request for VT-22. They have email on the site people can send request to and as you said if they get enough they make one. Maybe they will get enough!

Barb, I got your letter...thanks!

We had a great time at the wedding and I indeed got a family pic.  I'm waiting for my daughter to send it to me...as it was on her camera.  It was marvelous having all my "kids" there...and seeing extended family too.  Got to hear lots about flying, so we were very happy!

VT 22
Do u know the price for the minimum 20?
Comment by Barb on February 24, 2014 at 12:17pm

Dawn, V-21 or V-22?  There is a group of V-21 wives that have almost reached the 20 they need, I found them on Facebook.  My son was V-22...I would almost think about just fronting the $$ for the order because I'm pretty sure it would be easy to turn around and sell them to the SNAs still there.  

Comment by Dawn on February 24, 2014 at 12:02pm
Thanks Barb. I was hoping for a Kingsville as well
Comment by Barb on February 24, 2014 at 11:25am

Hi Dawn,

Here's the link:  http://www.squadronposters.com

If you don't see your LO's, they will create one if there are 20-30 requests.  

Suzie, there's one for Vance AFB T-6!  Who'd have thought!  They don't have one for Kingsville yet though :(

Hope all is well with everyone.

I know we are all always looking for that unique gift for our LOs. I ran across this through my DIL and thought I would share. Very Respectfully Made is the home business of a Navy spouse. http://www.veryrespectfullymade.bigcartel.com. There are some great pillows available, I think I'm going to be doing a lot of shopping. I'm going to copy this over to the Moms of Officers site too.

NOAM....Thanks for yet another good idea.  Love seeing all the clever ideas.

When our LO winged, hubby found a jersey case on ebay that he used to mount the patches, and pics.  The pic at the bottom of the case has my hubby's great grandfather pictured as part of the USS Missouri battleship crew in 1912.  :-)

Just another option.
