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 barbara10/08 on March 22, 2011 at 7:33am: NitaSewBee- I had my tonsils out when I was 19! It was nice not to have sore throat after sore throat. Hope they schedule him soon:)

Humor is good.

Besides all this going on, went to my husbands Aunt Dorothy's funeral yesterday. She was 88 and so sweet. We will miss her.

Comment by NitaSewBee on March 20, 2011 at 11:15pm: I believe besides being a little round candy coated choc. .. I am sorry, I needed to say something funny. Anyway, MM I believe would be Machinist Mate perhaps?

Tomorrow my 15yr old is going to see the ENT. The poor kid has had sore throats and strep throats for the past 6yrs. he has missed so much school this year alone. Being in 9th grade, this is not a good thing. So we are going to see when we can get his tonsils taken out. ASAP Hopefully sometime this week would be nice. wish us luck. the kid is miserable.

Comment by NitaSewBee on March 16, 2011 at 7:35pm: wow packing parties coming to NYS.. how cool is that? starting a Molly's in NYS , that would be cool too. I am in Schdy by the state capital. I think having a packing party for one of the ships would be cool let mne know when you hear from Molly
