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 lou2949 on February 3, 2011 at 4:12pm: Son got Tailhook.....just what he wanted.....all 6 in his Intermediate class have been told they'll get jets....could be 2 slots on the E-2 but unlikely.....

We're still digging out here in the Chicago suburbs.....sunny today but frigid. Just glad I didn't get stuck on Lake Shore Drive like some...4W drives didn't even help much in this storm.

Happy everyone is doing well!!!!!

Comment by snowmc on February 3, 2011 at 3:05pm: Son just got his orders....off to Oklahoma City on Feb 15th...reports to his new squadron on the 18th...will be an NFO on the E6. Now they just have to pray they can get in their new house on the 16th....not scheduled to close until March 1.

Comment by P3PilotMOM on February 3, 2011 at 11:21am: You ought to see the Texans try to drive in it... I have found that the safest thing is to just stay home.

Comment by Growlermom711 on February 3, 2011 at 11:09am: trust me- the novelty of the fluffy white stuff gets old real fast- especially driving in it!

Comment by P3PilotMOM on February 3, 2011 at 11:00am: You guys.... we have a 60% chance of getting snow in San Antonio and we are all afluster with excitement, and there you are bemoaning that pretty fluffy white stuff that we only dream of. (We can visit again when we are bemoaning the 70th straight day of 100+ temperatures this summer) :)

Comment by Growlermom711 on February 3, 2011 at 9:57am: here on Long Island we have about two feet of snow on the ground from the various storms, and yesterday it was a 1/4 inch of ice! I am so ready for Spring

Comment by Paymaster on February 2, 2011 at 4:12pm: Ladies....I am hosting a Meet & Greet at my house for the 21st of Feb. We will be sewing pillowcases for the USS Greenbay. If you are able to come please go to the Northern Calfi group and check in in the event section.

I appreciate any and all of you helping out!

Comment by TennMom on February 1, 2011 at 12:54pm: Well said Nancy, thanks. Reflection is the greatest cleanser of the soul, and your words gave me pause to sit, take time and think. Prayers for Sara and Mark would be an honor.

Comment by P3PilotMOM on February 1, 2011 at 12:30pm: Nancy W = thank you so much... I weep as I read what you wrote.. you speak from my heart so much. I have copied it to my son, it will encourage him as he flys high, that he is support for those on the ground. Thank you.
