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 Paymaster on April 19, 2011 at 3:29pm: BTW...You need to remember that when they are portraying military personnel on TV or in the movies, unless they are actually active or reserve they have to change the uniform because if they didn't then it would be impersoniating (spelling) military personnel which is a crime.

Comment by lsP3Orion on April 19, 2011 at 1:41pm: This is for any Dancing with the Stars fans out there - if you saw last night's show, Hines Ward was dressed as the "Officer" from Officer and a Gentleman - I was VERY upset at the "uniform" he was wearing with what appeared to be Naval Aviator Wings on his hat - was anyone else offended by that or am I crazy?? I am so ready to send a scathing email to ABC! Thanks for letting me vent!

Granddaughters are amazing and yours MMF is absolutely adorable. I was lucky enough to spend the last 4 days with my 7-year old GD in San Diego where we surprised my oldest for his 30th (how did that happen) birthday. Finally saw the sun for the first time in what seems to be a year here in the Northwest :)

Comment by Paymaster on April 19, 2011 at 8:59am: Grandchildren are the great stress reliever!

Comment by Julie on April 19, 2011 at 6:35am: What a beautiful grand daughter!!! thanks for sharing with us. DS is halfway through deployment- just had a nice call from Bahrain. Daughter graduating from college in May - son home in July- wedding in November. Can't wait!! Happy Easter to all.

Comment by Rosemarie on April 18, 2011 at 6:53pm: More moving questions.....for those of you who have moved their LO's household via UHaul. My son will not be able to pack up his stuff and move it. We will be moving it ourselves. Has anyone else done this? My son is going to pay for it but will not be driving it. How do we set up the rental so that my son gets reimbursed? Any other info on how to handle this kind of move is appreciated! Thanks

Comment by Sweet*Southern*Lady on April 17, 2011 at 7:18pm: DJ! I know it must be hard on you with your son gone, but Praying he returns safely and quickly!

Comment by PattyM on April 16, 2011 at 10:45pm: DJ - LOVED THE PICTURES OF CQ! How amazing our SDs are! Yah, I'm still kind of anxious about SD leaving on DET but they have a great crew and are well-prepared for their big adventure. Thank GOD for Skype and email :-) My mother says it's revenge for me joining the Navy in 1976 and then having the audacity to get stationed at GTMO for 18 months...LOL....Love to all...Patty

Comment by LHR on April 15, 2011 at 3:55pm: DJ,

Thanks so much for that link - the pictures are amazing!! Our son just finished API and should arrive in CC sometime today to start primary. Easy move for him this time since he and 3 others from OCS were in a furnished apt. in Pensacola. Pretty sure he's dreaming about jets - I'm going to email him the link because I know he'd love to see those photos.

Comment by Paymaster on April 15, 2011 at 1:19pm: Denise...Yes, I would call the family dentist and see if they can help.

Comment by lou2949 on April 14, 2011 at 2:45pm: After getting some great advice, I did the same thing JJMom....had too many dates in my last post so deleted it....my excitement and happiness for my son gets the best of me at times...
