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 CCR on February 9, 2009 at 8:59am: Bens Gram, I have gotten bit with the geneology bug myself. My brother is doing my dads side and I'm TRYING to do my moms. I too was in Hawaii in the 70's and saw the Memorial

Comment by CCR on December 16, 2008 at 12:46pm: Carolyn, Excellent! Thank God your son was and is safe. You must be very proud. Is that a book or movie, or both?
I get military.com in my e-mail and read the story about the ship that Korea captured and they surrendered. The guy tells his side of the story. I think it was 11 months

Comment by CCR on December 3, 2008 at 11:39pm: Joni and Sue S: I was kinda thinking I might even interject some Air Force and/or Army whatever into this. I was telling Connie I found a panoramic picture from the 20's of the USS Vermont, but apparently it was used to transport soldiers - my grandpa went to France in WWI on it!!! Also, I have a picture of my dad I'm dying to show you. Well, some are on my page - of my parents getting married. Him in the AirForce/Army and she a Rosie Riveter! I just love finding out history.

Another topic way off - I just heard James Dobson on an interview with a guy about the civil war. and missionary Ridge. (I lived in Chattanooga for 8 years and toured all the civil war stuff, Lookout Mtn., Signal Mtn, Missionary Ridge, etc.) They talked for an hour about stories - General Douglas McArthur's father was shot 9 times, how each general on each side said if they thought the war had been about slavery (which they said it wasn't) they would have fought for the other side. Did anyone hear this interview? I have many pictures of this war on postcards, memorabilia, because of all the horses!!!!!! And the stories sometimes talk about their mounts. I just love it.

Comment by CCR on December 2, 2008 at 3:35pm: Connie, you don't think I knew that did ya? I called my dad of course.

Comment by CCR on December 1, 2008 at 9:31pm: jenny flew with the ox-5 - Maybe Curits made the engine. maybe curtis wright.

Comment by CCR on December 1, 2008 at 1:03am: Some of you may know I've spent years scanning pictures and slides from the 40's to the 70's and beyond to make videos with music of my family.

In my dads office, I found 6 more boxes of pictures, and one was my grandmothers. My grandfather was in WWI in France and there are many rolls of pictures that are around 3 feet long. I didn't know they did panoramic pictures way back then.

GET THIS!!! One of them is a picture of the ship, the USS Vermont!!!
My dad pointed out all the soliders on the deck of the ship, and said, the men in the white uniforms were the sailors. I have to find a company who will preserve this. its soooo long. Its in very good condition.
Then, my grandfather was in a group shot with other engineers and the back of the picture says US Navy Liberty Airplane engine. My dad says it was my grandfathers "school" he went to.

Comment by CCR on December 1, 2008 at 12:58am: OK, that is the best pic ever!!! Connie, I was at my dads for Thanksgiving. He had to look the planes up, because my Navy brother has the painting.
Grumman planes.
He says the "fat" one is an Avenger Torpedo Bomber. (TBF?)
And the two fighters are:
F4F-4 Wildcat and
F6F-3 Hellcat .
then he wrote aircraft carrier on the bottom. I don't know what that was for....

Comment by CCR on November 19, 2008 at 10:16pm: RFLMAO, a petting zoo!

Comment by CCR on November 18, 2008 at 10:31pm: Yes Connie, I was very excited what Jayne let us in on. How'd you manage a tour of the base Sue?

No way!! Thats her??? Awesome!

Comment by CCR on November 16, 2008 at 4:27pm: connie I'm laughing because I thought it was a skewed picture of the old famous photograph of the sailor kissing the gal.
Then I read it was a statue in San Diego. DUhhhh
