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 StephanieC on October 3, 2011 at 8:13pm: yea thats the way i figure it. I have the closure that i needed and wanted. Now i feel like i can really begin to put it all behind me. We are still talking. We want to remain friends. I dont want to lose him out of my life completely. And he doesnt want me completely out of his either. So now it will just be a matter is moving past it all and as i said, now that i have the closure that i needed and wanted adn there isnt anything left still open, i can really begin to put it behind me and move past it and be friends with him

Comment by Paula (was Capricorna) on October 1, 2011 at 8:39pm: Sounds like he made his decision and you just have to move on. I'd still be bummed too though. I'm glad he finally replied and that at least gives you some closure. Hang in there girl, life has a purpose for you yet.

Comment by StephanieC on September 30, 2011 at 8:51pm: Nah the 14th is the friday so ive got soccer practice and then work that night. and im still not sure yet if im going to be able to make it up there. i really want to. He did finally reply just on monday. said he still feels like he made the right decision. im still kinda bummed about it. but life goes on. im not sure if i will still see him if i go up there that weekend. that was the plan but now i dont know if there is still a reason to.

Comment by Paula (was Capricorna) on September 30, 2011 at 3:34pm: Get ready on the 14th to leave for Charleston for Jessica's beach wedding.

Are you going to see him while you're there? Did he ever reply to/comment on your letter? (sorry if I missed that).

Comment by StephanieC on September 30, 2011 at 3:14am: Geesh you all have something exciting for the 14th...i think i need to find something exciting to do on the 14th just so i dont feel so left out, lol but as it stand right now, ill be work that night and HOPEFULLY leaving the morning of the 15th to go up to Charleston for Jessicas beach wedding.

Comment by Paula (was Capricorna) on September 29, 2011 at 8:40pm: Jess - the wedding is so near!!! Wow. Hang in there with the roommate and good luck with the SmartCar.

Stephanie - I am so praying for you to get the AT&T gig.

Sailorwifeschu - congrats on the weight loss and continuing to work at it. You'll be in San Antonio before you know it. Enjoy!

Funny, the 14th is the day I leave for Istanbul.

Comment by JessicaB-Sailor's Sweetheart<3 on September 29, 2011 at 9:59am: I know right!!! I leave on the 14th too. It needs to hurry. I have gotta find a way to get less stressed though... The roommate issue is driving me nuts and now my skin is breaking out!

Stephanie, fingers crossed you hear from somewhere soon!!

Comment by StephanieC on September 29, 2011 at 7:53am: Sailor wife, good luck on the 15 lbs. im starting to work out too. i just need to lose the extra. And no, still nothing yet from AT&T. Well technically i heard from them the day after i did the testing. They were impressed with how well i did on it but needed a little more info from my app. Fingers crossed, i want it so bad.

Jess-hopefully room change goes thru. If i was you and she took my stuff off the walls, id be taking her stuff down to, just for the hell of it. I tend to get pissy when people touch my stuff, especially when its still technically my room.

Paula-yea slavery just about covers it. I made $50 in 5 days, working about 7 hrs a night. It sucks! hope you have fun on your vacation :)

Comment by corpsmanwifeschu on September 29, 2011 at 2:00am: Jess, can it be the 14th yet? I wanna be in San Antonio!

Steph, have you heard anything yet from AT&T? Hope you get it!

I need to go to sleep, my body is feeling so tired lately. I've started working out, just walking and running, but when you go from couch potato to running...I've lost 30 lbs since January and I want to lose another 15 before my 30th. Come on motivation! Let's do this!

Comment by JessicaB-Sailor's Sweetheart<3 on September 28, 2011 at 9:09pm: Yeah, just til december 16th. Fingers crossed my room change request goes though. She took all my stuff off the walls today. awesome. Its uh, an experience. On the bright side; pretty sure I can live with just about anyone after this!!!

I'm getting married in 17 days. It is so exciting(: A little strange that just a few months ago I was picking out my prom dress.. but still I couldn't be happier(: I will be sure to post lots of pictures!

Grant and I are getting a car soon. We are looking into a little silver smart-car, he is going to see it Friday. I'm so excited!
