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 13, 2011 at 11:19am: Michimom - Yeah on seeing your sailor in two weeks. you will love Charleston. So pretty and so many things to see. I highly recommend a ghost tour and a historic carriage ride, if you can. You learn a lot about the architecture and history in all of those things. Going to the Battery/dungion is fun too and the tour is quite interesting. Of course Fort Sumter is really great too. And the Plantations, amazing.

Have fun.

Comment by Kat (MM Nuke) on May 13, 2011 at 11:15am: haha Mary. I live in Phoenix. It's supposed to be about 100 degrees today. Those malamutes might not like the heat much.

Comment by hapsmolmr on May 13, 2011 at 9:53am: Jo1 -- When is his PIR and what division is your SR in?

Comment by NavyMomLG on May 13, 2011 at 9:32am: I am working on my travel plans to GC at the end of June, and wondering if any of you TN moms can recommend something for my girls and I to see in Knoxville. I'm thinking historical/educational over shopping/entertainment.

Comment by Michimom (MM Nuke Mom) on May 13, 2011 at 9:26am: Can't believe how far I had to go back to catch up, and I haven't even been away that long. Sooo funny. Now I have to try making cake balls for some get-together!

We are very unhappy here in Hockeytown. Hockey season 2010-2011 is now officially over. The Wings did a bang-up job, though. Can't say the same about the refs. Do not know why they just do not like us.

Your discussion reminded me that my mom told me that she and my father had their first big fight after they got married while they were wallpapering. Made me vow never to wallpaper with my hubby (although the only wallpapering I ever did was only a border--and my sister helped me instead of him. LOL).

Happy Friday the 13th! We see our sailor in two weeks! Woo hoo! And we get to see Charleston for the first time.

Comment by Emily-aaronsgirl11 on May 13, 2011 at 9:11am: Wow... I didn't even notice it was Friday the 13th until you said something, Sharon!!

Comment by Sharon ~ K's Mom on May 13, 2011 at 9:08am: Wow, I had to go back 7 pages to update!!! You are all so funny!!!!

YES, I have been doing "Cake Pops" lately! I have taken them to church fellowship to see how they would go over and they have gone over BIG time!!! I have made them for orders too. I have a order for next week, a "Bridal" bouquet of sorts. A friend is going to give it to a friend of hers, who is getting married in July. I will be placing it in a flower pot, making round "flowers" and also will include lil' "cupcakes" as I have a mold for them and I will also do a "bride" and "groom." I have quite a few resources, one being Bakerella.com and CakeCentral.com as well as many other "Cake Pop" makers! I have a couple of pictures of mine on Sym's Chocolates that is located on Facebook. I always have my tempering machines on, so my chocolates are always ready to go. Makes it a bit easier when I also make chocolates, though with the warm weather and this ole farm house they don't go together. Heck, I can't even bake in the warmer temps, the humidity is too high in this house. Well.........I am off to finish the 250 "Africa" shaped cookies that I am making, baking and decorating for a girl in our church who is doing a fundraiser this Sunday to raise money to help her go to "Africa" on a "Missions" trip. They will have the colors of the flag on each one, talk about time consuming.........they are!! I have cookies all over the place!!! I have a company that hand makes cookies cutters, they can do just about anything!

Happy Friday the 13th everyone!!!!! Enjoy the "Cake Pops!" lol

Comment by maryquitecontrary (1131 M) on May 13, 2011 at 9:04am: Good morning! I was out of town for a few days and don't think there's any hope of me catching up! haha Hope everyone is doing well. Class 1131 had their first test today!

Comment by swim4life on May 13, 2011 at 8:57am: hey hapsmolmr and Jo1, there is another GROUP that is called NUKE A SCHOOL FAQ...there's a lot of good information there about EMs, A SCHOOL, etc. I usually go there if I have a question. There are links to more info, too! :) Welcome to the Nuke family!
