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 NancyJo (NNPTC) on November 10, 2014 at 3:39pm: B'sNuke, what gorgeous blooms! Boy done good!

COTwin, you never disappoint. When you have a catastrophe, you go all the way. I bet you don't see a lot of laundry flying in November in Colorado. At least they are cleaned, right? LOL It's only funny because they did right by you. It would have been a whole different story if they had jerked you around. You are due some good stuff now. Hope your first day of class rocks!

Comment by B'sNukeMoM⚓️MMN(Vet) on November 10, 2014 at 3:02pm: NonnaB - brag away momma - that's what we are here for! I'm not sure what it means either, but it sure sounds nice - Bravo Zulu to him!

Co-Twin - OMG I was laughing at the sight of the washer holding your laundry hostage! Glad you got that straightened out....and lucky that they are upgrading you to the newest model. I hope your first day of school today is going well.....

Comment by B'sNukeMoM⚓️MMN(Vet) on November 10, 2014 at 2:58pm: Hi All - Happy Monday! Hope everyone had a great weekend. I sure did - my birthday was Sunday and my sailor sent me flowers! It's my 3rd birthday without him home but he sure knows how to make me feel good ;-) And hubby took me to the casino and I came home $4.84 ahead!! WooHoo. Then we had dinner with my mom & step-dad & college son joined us too - it was a Happy Birthday for me! I even got to stop at an Army/Navy store and got my self a new Navy hat.

Hope everyone has a great week. Here's my flowers from my sailor!

Comment by NonnaB on November 8, 2014 at 1:42am: I don't comment much but felt I had to brag about my ELT2 because he qualified as senior in rate last week. I am still not quite sure what that means, so maybe some of the veteran guys can explain?

Comment by NonnaB on November 8, 2014 at 1:36am: CoTwin, sometimes a seemingly bad thing turns out to be a good thing! Glad your laundry was freed because, if you are like me, there are only a limited number of things I have to wear.

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on November 7, 2014 at 11:54pm: Kimbos... So sorry about your mom or is it your mother in law?

Pray that your sailor gets his goodbyes. Then your hello's

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on November 7, 2014 at 11:40pm: I am having washer/dryer issues. In my new house ordered a Maytag set on sale. The dryer was electric and it turns out The one I bought was electric. So they took it away and ordered a gas one and they did not charge me more, The washer ate my laundry. First time I tried it. The door locked and then it did nothing. My laundry was locked in and it would not wash or unlock. My laundry was locked up. They brought a new washer and got permission to break the other ones door to free my laundry. New one works like a charm. Then this AM they brought the new dryer and Low and behold it was damaged, dented in three places. SOOO they took it away and are replacing it with the newest next years model at no cost. It will come on Tuesday. I have had to hang three loads outside on my new houses laundry line.
