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 Kat (MM Nuke) on May 6, 2011 at 1:08pm: Aggie - my son is power school class 1104-11. He confirmed to me that graduation is Oct. 7, just like Diana had posted on here on Monday.

I would just reconfirm at least one or two more times to be sure, and get plane tickets that can be changed just in case there is any delay.

Comment by Andi6109 on May 6, 2011 at 1:06pm: quiltblue i am just as upset about that as you! i feel as if this completely compromises the safety of those men. i was actually floored they came out and said SEAL Team 6 was the group earlier this week instead of just saying the SEALS, since we all know "SEAL Team 6 doesnt exist" (notice my use of quotations on that one) my neigbor is ROTC at my school and we were talking last night and even though he is Army, he was upset about it too. i know the reporters want a good story, but i think they should use their better judgement sometimes. and i am really shocked that guy's sister was even allowed to be interviewed or the fact that she even knew about it

Comment by bobbysproudmom on May 6, 2011 at 12:58pm: I think Simplicity has vintage apron patterns for any of you that like to sew

Comment by Michimom (MM Nuke Mom) on May 6, 2011 at 12:55pm: Jeanne, the UP is so pretty, I wouldn't mind driving up there just to collect some rocks. Of course, I'd want to stay longer.

Comment by Michimom (MM Nuke Mom) on May 6, 2011 at 12:54pm: Yes, SC BoundGF, that was the Rebecca Black song I quoted. Couldn't resist. It is so bad, but it gets stuck in your head. LOL

I'm a wearer of aprons. Got a cool one when we were in Italy a few years ago. My brother-in-law saw me in it on Thanksgiving and commented that he didn't think he ever saw anyone in an apron. I don't really understand why more cooks/bakers don't wear them (men or women). I sure don't like my clothes getting messed up when I'm cooking or baking.

Comment by Kris, Stevens mom on May 6, 2011 at 11:54am: Jeanne - you rock!!

Dana - sounds like you had a nice trip!

Dans mom- we went to Taste of Chicago once it was awesome - Peter Frampton was there.

Still havent heard Stevens orders yet & he still cant get 2 signatures - hes getting frustrated as he says he'll forget everything he knows before his boards.

**HAPPY MOTHERS DAY TO ALL!!**

Comment by quiltblue on May 6, 2011 at 11:45am: Ladies, my old college friend wrote a cool cookbook for two (here's the link) Table for Two it makes a great gift (if you are on Facebook that's where the link goes to. Also, if you love aprons, they are making a comeback! Go to Hobby Lobby or Joann's Fabrics, they have many "kits" for ready to make aprons and you can embellish them or make changes! My favorite shower gift for a wedding is a blank book and I write some of my fast, and easy to make recipes in it. I now have three books! When I find a new recipe in another book, if my family really likes it, I then write it in "My book" with any substitutions that I might have used to get the "Yes, it's really good" comments. Saves me from having to remember which book it came from! This is also a great way to gift your recipes to a daughter-in-law... my son's favorites are all written in it (now if she would just cook!, hahaha, my son loves HIS cookbook).

Also, just reported that the sister of the SEAL who shot OBL gave an interview and gave her name and HIS! I would love to shoot the reporter and their bosses for airing of information! Praying for them.

Comment by Sharon ~ K's Mom on May 6, 2011 at 11:37am: Mary, that is the site for the aprons I was talking about!! Thanks for the link, I think they are so cute!!!!

Dor, I don't think we would let you leave if you wanted to!!! You are in this for the long haul!!! We won't make you wear an aprong either! lol

Comment by Aggie08Mom (ship 02,div. 903) on May 6, 2011 at 11:35am: My son just stared power school on 4-28. He's class 1104-10. I have an idea that either he or someone on this site said that power school graduation for that class will be October 7. Does anybody know if that's true or if I'm just making it up? I'm trying to make arrangements for another trip to Charleston and don't want to make a lot of reservations for the wrong date!

Comment by NF Mom on May 6, 2011 at 11:28am: "my impression of WA -wear layers of clothes all with hoods. It rains almost all the time BUT when the sun does come out it is beautiful -oh yeah -I can hardly wait -NOT " Just for the record, about two thirds of WA is semi-arid. If you are driving there come into WA on Interstate 82, not Interstate 5 and not Interstate 90. You will get much more accurate view of the state.

Also pass through Seattle and take a Ferry from Seattle to your duty station. It is easy and very relaxing after a long trip.

That said, it is very rainy where the boats and the ships are :)
