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 Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on January 27, 2012 at 4:17pm: Choc, my stepdaughter also loves UNCW and that has ben her first choice for a long time now. We went thee to your the school in Nov and had a great time.it is a beautiful school. But, now that it its getting close to choosing for sure where she will go she is thinking more and more about UNC charlotte. I think she doesn't want to be so far away from home :)

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on January 27, 2012 at 4:12pm: We had those storms last night Betsy. Today finally some sunshine and it is really warm for January.
UNC80, I do know him, just not personally. It seems like he was also on the sheriffs department too but I could b wrong.

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on January 27, 2012 at 10:46am: Good Morning ladies, I hope your Friday is a good one.

chocolatelablover, Yikes! That sure is an early start to your day

Lala, your soggy weather has now found it's way to Maryland. We actually had thunder/lightening this morning when I was walking my dog.

Comment by chocolatelablover on January 27, 2012 at 8:34am: Good Morning Everyone! Now that my hubby is on travel, I have the morning dog walks, so that means up at 0400 to start my day. Plus I wanted to get to work a bit early, so I can leave early for the mailbox check. No letter yesterday, so some disappointment. Maybe today!!!

Comment by unc80 on January 26, 2012 at 10:59pm: Connie, so glad that your SR passed. He only had to run a 12:15 to pass so he had room to spare. And congrats to your daughter on being conference champs.

Three more weeks and we'll be there. So excited.

Lala, the new NC Director of Probation and Parole (my BIG boss) is from Transylvania Co. - David Guice. He was a Congressman or Senator. Do you know him?

Comment by chocolatelablover on January 26, 2012 at 10:27pm: Lala...too funny. We made a trip out that way to Lees McRae for a visit. Had some snow during the trip. My SR ended up at UNCW. Decided he liked the surf & sand over the ski slopes.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on January 26, 2012 at 9:33pm: I hope you all are having a wonderful DRY day. It is raining here AGAIN, I swear I have moved to Seattle :-) Transylvania County in NC is one of only 2 places in the continental US with enough rainfall to be considered a rain forest. the difference in this year and last year? last year colder temps gave us 37 inches of SNOW. I guess no more complaining about rail lol...... okay thanks for letting me vent lol

Comment by Connie (Ship03 Div 070) on January 26, 2012 at 2:06pm: He is 19. Thank you for confirming. I am happy with him passing. Running is not his thing.

Comment by chocolatelablover on January 26, 2012 at 1:36pm: Connie, I don't know what his age is, but he passed in the 17-19 age group and all other age groups older than that. It isn't a score of Excellent, but it's passing & that's what counts. I work with Navy personnel so they gave me the scoop Think we can trust them!

Comment by Connie (Ship03 Div 070) on January 26, 2012 at 12:06pm: He said he improved and did the mile and a half in 11:40. I have to look and see if that is passing. He got his first choice of jobs so that is good news. He also said he still thinks he made the right decision, joining the navy. I'm really glad to hear that.
