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 CO-TwinSalorsMom on January 5, 2015 at 12:30am: LOL BunkerQB.

Comment by BunkerQB on January 4, 2015 at 11:36pm: CoTwin, please add chopped peanuts on top of my maple bar donuts. Will pm you my address. Make it quick. My mouth is watering. LOL.

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on January 4, 2015 at 9:47pm: gretamae....no pool but I rented a mother in law cottage, quiet neighborhood. Private yard w/ BBQ. Had a BBQ with my sailor and his friends. two bedrooms. Reasonable I thought. 9 min from base like twi turns, straight shot. Right off N. Rhett. I posted it in the above discussions.

Comment by gretamae3 (nuke mom) on January 4, 2015 at 9:01pm: I need help!!!! I'm looking for a suite for graduation near the GC base. I can't seem to find one that has an indoor pool. Also Am glad I did a map search on one that claimed to be near the base and it ended up being 45 minutes away. I have my parents going so would really love some sort of suite with seperate room (my mom snores bad). Any sugestions

Comment by submomIII on January 4, 2015 at 8:33pm: Happy New Year to all!! Yesterday was sailor's 21st BD. Glad he was home for Christmas, New Year's, and his BD. He wanted to do the same thing he has done for the past 15 years or so - a bunch of buddies over for an all night video game party. We did also take him to a nice restaurant, and then to 1 bar - before driving him to the airport EARLY this morning. Hope everybody had good holidays. Prayers and Navy Mom hugs to all.

Comment by britefuture on January 4, 2015 at 11:53am: CO-Twin-That's great. I need to move next door to you, lol. Yummy treats!

Comment by 8isenuff (ET & MM) on January 4, 2015 at 1:38am: B'snukemom, Mommamac, and Cybermom, congrats on your sailors' recent successes and new orders! On to new adventures! Also, best wishes to those who still have oral boards to take. Fingers crossed!

CO-Twin, sure hope your house sells this time around. And glad you are doing well in school. :-)

It was so nice to have everyone home for a few days over Christmas. We sent the ET back to GC on Tuesday. He has an exam next week, and needed to study. The MM went back today. Made me a little sad to see them both go (shed a few tears on the way home--shhh, don't tell-- they hate to see my cry!). I guess what makes it okay, at least for now, is that they were both really fine about going back, and getting back into their normal routine. It wasn't going back to something they hate. The MM actually confessed she missed some of those crazy, silly classmates/ buddies she has made. Knowing that made me feel a little bit better somehow.

Comment by ChuckG on January 3, 2015 at 10:07pm: For those of you with sailors who graduated NPTU--have you heard of the graduation date being delayed? Class 1403 was to graduate January 30th but son tells us it is delayed a couple weeks or so. We have to make arrangements with work schedules and just curious if this is typical?

Comment by ChuckG on January 3, 2015 at 9:59pm: Does anyone have a son or daughter in class 1403?

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on January 3, 2015 at 9:57pm: Brightfuture... School is going good. I finished first quarter with an A 90%. Not bad. I give what I make at school to my nieghbors. If it will ship I send it to my twins. I am making them maple bar donuts tomorrow and shipping them Monday overnight.
