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 Michimom (MM Nuke Mom) on January 24, 2011 at 10:51pm: Hey, Drama, it sure is a small world! I'm in Farmington Hills. My kids went to Harrison HS.

Comment by Kat (MM Nuke) on January 24, 2011 at 10:35pm: ya Diana, I checked and it's around 2100 miles for me, from Phoenix, if I go on I-40. It might be slightly longer if I go on I-10, but man, how easy, take I-10 to Florida and make a left in Jacksonville, north to Charleston. How easy is that?

Cyndii, wow your son is lucky to have so many from his division there. I think my son had 11 of his division go, but only 3 or 4 of them are MM and in his class. I don't know if they get together with the other much. Hopefully so.

Comment by Kat (MM Nuke) on January 24, 2011 at 10:31pm: Hi Cyndi. I live in North Phoenix, off Cave Creek Rd. at Deer Valley Rd. We're almost neighbors.

Comment by Cyndii ~ Nuke Mom on January 24, 2011 at 10:16pm: Toby's wife - Susan! I'm here too - Cyndii. Steven is just about settled @ GC. Says 1/4 of his division is there too and they're all getting to know their way around. Also saw some other Arizona mama's here! WOO HOO!!!!! I'm from Glendale. =)

Comment by Diana AZ NavyMom on January 24, 2011 at 10:10pm: OK, I just had to Google it. 2300 miles from Yuma to GC. Not as far as some, but still a very long drive.

Comment by Kat (MM Nuke) on January 24, 2011 at 9:58pm: well heck, I'm coming to visit you just for the wineries, Binker's mom :)

You know, we actually do have some here in Arizona, in the southern part of the state. I took my daughter on a girl's getaway a couple of years ago. We went down and stayed in the haunted hotel in Bisbee, then to a haunted brothel that is now a bed and breakfast in Tombstone. We stopped at a couple of wineries and she thought I was crazy for doing some wine tasting at 10:30 in the morning. haha. I'm not a huge drinker, but I love to taste them.

Comment by DramaboysMom on January 24, 2011 at 9:52pm: Cleaning disability.. What a hoot! I always say I am getting a head start on Halloween so don't mess with my dust! Used to say it was a science experiment. Had my boys believing that for a while when they were young. Hey there Toby's. My son PIR'd the week before.

Michimom, where 'bouts in MI? grew up in Farmington.

Comment by Binker & Bro: 2X Nuke Mom on January 24, 2011 at 9:44pm: we'll all skip cleaning and go hang out in the wineries! There are like 150-200 of them! Ya like wine? We'll have a ball! If we all go to BS we can hang out on the way to and from!

Comment by nvmomma on January 24, 2011 at 9:16pm: I too have a cleaning disability, glad to have company :)

Comment by Binker & Bro: 2X Nuke Mom on January 24, 2011 at 8:58pm: couzin liz and mnlinda, my Bink is in 1102. He's in section 6. So far he says he is really enjoying power school. Says physics and math make sense to him now. says he understands the stuff he had so much trouble with in high school--told him his language window hadnt closed and reopened for abstract thinking back then. When are we having power school grad? June 17 or July 17? Bink couldnt remember which one!

Remember, when I'm in NY, if you go along I-86--the Southern Tier Expressway, I'm right there at the 200 mile mark in Elmira. Messy house-lived in by men and a 13 year old girl and when I'm there, I have a cleaning disability. But its big and free!

Welcome Toby.
