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."

This is so exciting - was just at Lambeau in October and brought home some fresh mowed Packer grass and went to Joann's Fabrics in Green Bay to buy Packer fleece - which I had shipped home and make a blanket and some Packer pants - which have brought the team good luck all season!!!! :) Now just need to decide to have my first Super Bowl party or go somewhere here in the Portland area to one of the large Packer Fan Club get togethers!

Comment by JFKBrooklet on January 23, 2011 at 2:11am: Thank you, all! Great stories so far. What a wonderful group. We are lucky to have each other for support. I am amazed at what all of your kids are doing.

Comment by JFKBrooklet on January 22, 2011 at 7:36pm: So . . . . I have a request from all of you experienced moms. Our DS will be finishing primary in about one month (or less) and he is undecided about what he wants to select. Please post a brief description of the pros and cons of your DS's platform. I am sure this will help others as well. Thank you and I look forward to interesting posts.

Comment by JFKBrooklet on January 22, 2011 at 7:26pm: Rose,

I am so excited for you and DS. I hope he gets what he wants. Congratulations for making it this far.

Comment by lsP3Orion on January 20, 2011 at 1:44pm: FBM - that's funny! Refueling has to be so precise - it's so weird to know about all these things just in general, but then to realize that our CHILDREN are doing them makes it all the more amazing to me!

Comment by lsP3Orion on January 19, 2011 at 8:43pm: Oh darn it - just a few more things to go, but sounds like he's moving along well!

Comment by lsP3Orion on January 18, 2011 at 9:59pm: So he's an official P3 co-pilot - that's wonderful news, so something good happened - the month will fly by - no pun intended :)

Comment by lsP3Orion on January 18, 2011 at 2:32pm: Leslie - this is very exciting!!!
