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 Cindy on January 10, 2010 at 2:54pm: Hello everyone! My January has been really busy and I haven't had a chance to post for a while. It's been fun reading through posts and if the group gathers at Golfland I'm there!!! I grew-up in the South Bay (Cupertino) and must have gone there hundreds of times. So Cal would be a fun getaway too, who knows how many sailors we'll all have there as time goes by. I look forward to hearing about today's M&G, and probably won't make it until Jody's later this spring.

Vicky - Seems like our sailors just get over a hurdle and then, bam! something else for mom to worry about. I'm thinking good thoughts and am sure she'll be fine!

Comment by mikes mom on January 10, 2010 at 11:46am: Vickyrun - I'm sure your sailor will pass with flying colors !!!!

Comment by Vickyrun on January 10, 2010 at 10:46am: SoCal? I don't think I will be heading down that way untill my sailor gets to San Diego. Her Navy career is in question until she passes her security clearance. Me worried? She will pass, right?

Comment by Tee-1sailor's mom on January 10, 2010 at 10:45am: Thanks BunkerBee, I also enjoyed reading those. Oh, and 'puter,' add 'com' but I can't figure out adding Box to Tee?

My 2 cents on OPSEC, I created an email address just for N4Ms and didn't use my real name at all.

Comment by mikes mom on January 10, 2010 at 1:31am: BunkerBee - Wow Thanks I really enjoyed reading about the Donut Dollies

Comment by mikes mom on January 10, 2010 at 12:44am: Hey Monica - How's the painting going ?????? Party on !!!!!

Comment by BunkerQB on January 9, 2010 at 9:45pm: A N4M member (screen name was Donut Dollie) whose aunt was a World War II Red Cross Donut Dollie told me about these incredible women. They also went to Vietnam. Two articles of interest.

Now, Tee if you add Box to Tee, you and I could be a real twosome. I am really hyped about a So Cal M&G for No Cal ladies. They even had one of their MG at Rock Bottom Brewery, although the place is a bit noisy for conversation. The Fish Market by the Harbor is the place.
What is a puter? Word not in the Webster New World Dictionary. Should I go to the library and get the Old World Version?

Comment by Tee-1sailor's mom on January 9, 2010 at 7:21pm: Hi Bee/Bea, since I'm Tee (not golf lingo intended) we go together! LOL A M&G in So Cal for No Cal sounds great to me! Now I LOVED the Andy and Barney refereces...I hafta watch it every night cause hubby is addicted!

Is that bring your own putter....or puter?? ROFL (not THAT funny)

Comment by mikes mom on January 9, 2010 at 6:56pm: Thank's my last doesn't show up !!!!

Comment by BunkerQB on January 9, 2010 at 6:29pm: Venue change for April Santa Clara Meet & Greet: Will be at Golfland on 855 E. El Camino Real, Sunnyvale. Bring your own putter. You ladies are so slooooow today.
IIMPORTANT: Hover your mouse over you profile photo or name, look at the bottom address bar. If your last name is displayed, you need to change it. Go to settings, click on MY PAGE link on the upper left, scroll down to "Address" - the box below will have your hyperlink address. If it has your last name (after the "profile/" is there) change it to something else. I have BunkerBee for USERNAME and my profile name - could be different. When you first click on Settings, you'll see USERNAME and your current username.
