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 Pamela on May 16, 2011 at 12:38pm: Anyone else's son graduating A-school this Friday the 20th? Can't wait for my boy to get home for 10 days. Boy am I gonna be cooking up some good chow for him. All his favorites!!! He'll probably gain 10lbs in 10 days!

Comment by Kat (MM Nuke) on May 16, 2011 at 12:29pm: Let's see Dor, so many kitchen utensils to choose from. I do love my Pampered Chef garlic press and food chopper. Of course they don't have to be Pampered Chef, but I just happened to have those ones.

Comment by Kris, Stevens mom on May 16, 2011 at 12:02pm: Well, Steven got his orders & even though he is a sub vol he is going to the John C Stennis, he's taking it well - knows everything happens for a reason but it was still unexpected. Guess I wont be joining sub moms & gotta find my new group :(.

And now for something completely different: Had a potluck for work today & I brought Strawberry Margarita Cake .

Comment by William in Nashua on May 16, 2011 at 11:54am: Diana, I am sorry to hear about your son being dropped from the nuclear program at Captain's Mast. Please let us know where he winds up. Had he already graduated A School when it happened? In that case he will still be a MM just not a nuke.

My family will be leaving this Wednesday and driving from New Hampshire to Goose Creek to deliver my son's car. His class just completed the halfway mark of A school (he is an ET student). This will be the first we have seen him in five months. I hope to meet some of his friends too while we are down there.

Nothing to add here in the cake balls department Lol.

Comment by elizabeth77(USS SAN FRANCISCO) on May 16, 2011 at 11:09am: Mammjo..too funny! I never even saw the irony when I wrote that sentence. I just hate the way the chicken starts to cook somewhat when you defrost it that way. I had to go back to my comment to see see if I had really used that term. :)

Comment by mommajo on May 16, 2011 at 10:00am: Wow, lots happens in a day!

bobbysmom-ordered it on line and received it in Wyoming in 6 days.

elizabeth77~you hate to "nuke" to defrost. I had grown so accustomed to nukes being our kids that I had to reread that statement slowly. LOL

Will have to look at the Nuke moms with balls when I get home tonight; something to look forward too :)

Have a great Monday!

Comment by Penny_Nuke_MM2_NimitzNuke on May 16, 2011 at 1:36am: Yes America, Nuke Moms DO have balls !!!!! hahahahaha

Comment by elizabeth77(USS SAN FRANCISCO) on May 15, 2011 at 10:09pm: OMG......I just checked out Sym's chocolate and it looks soooooo yoummy!

Comment by Kat (MM Nuke) on May 15, 2011 at 10:01pm: Sharon - I just checked out Sym's Chocolate. You make some great stuff. Now I'm getting the itch to try some more new things. I do those pretzel rods and choc. covered strawberries like that, but only for special occassions. Of course you sell them and all we'd do is eat them. Hmmmmmmm, I am going to have to start going to the gym every day I think.

Comment by Kat (MM Nuke) on May 15, 2011 at 9:58pm: Elizabeth, ya, for us we have the salmon burgers a lot. They come in a big tube bag of about 16 burgers, from Costco, so we have them around a lot. I actually use them in salads to add protein too, so they are kind of standard around here. But I hadn't used any in a couple months. Sweet potato fries, well, ya, we got into them a while back. I found another big back in the deep freeze so had to start using them. i did make up a big meat loaf too, for tomorrow night, so dinner will be easy then.
