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 lizinnj on March 20, 2012 at 7:27am: Katz.....we usually have this ladybug invasion in the fall. I m waiting for Ashley to wake up and say ..hey look around LOL. I like the idea of counting fridays. This weekend is her going away party and she has no idea. She thinks we are going to dinner in Atlantic City, just a sisters/Mom dinner. Let's hope the Camden Aquarium is not empty Saturday because that where her sisters are taking her so we can get ready.

Comment by Katze90210 (3/113) on March 20, 2012 at 7:21am: Linzibj. Ladybugs are lucky. Just keep that in mind. While your SR is leaving in 12 days I will be seeing mine in 16 days. The time does go quick. I would pout when someone would tell me that until I started counting the Fridays till I get to see him. Counting Fridays does not make it seem so long!

Comment by lizinnj on March 20, 2012 at 7:17am: Ahhhh Tina, I looked at your profile. Very close!!

We are down to 12 days till Ash leaves for BC. It's been brutal recently. 2 of her best friends have been seriously injured in the past 3 weeks. One just friday night. He lost his leg. Ash had a near breakdown last night about leaving everyone and not being here for them. I hope the next 12 days are easier. I did wake up this morning, first day of spring with ladybugs all over the house.

Comment by sjtina on March 19, 2012 at 10:53pm: Welcome new members. lizinnj we are practically neighbors. The veteran moms in the PIR groups are awesome and will help you and all the other moms feeling the same as you get through BC.

Maria I am sorry to hear about your son injury. Its a 6 hour drive, not sure how you feel about driving that far.

Comment by lizinnj on March 13, 2012 at 12:05pm: Katze...I am right outside Atlantic City. My daughter leaves April 2nd and will be heading to Texas after BC. Are you flying or driving to Great Lakes?

Comment by Katze90210 (3/113) on March 12, 2012 at 9:22pm: Hi new to this group, just found you guys. My Son's PIR is 4/6 and he will go to A School in Texas. I live in Central Jersey. Nice to know I'm not alone. Hope it's ok I stopped by.
