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 Paula (was Capricorna) on June 9, 2011 at 1:03pm: I'm guessing the cooling inserts come in 3 sets of pairs - otherwise, I guess they're marketing to aliens???? Anyone out there with 3 boobs? Katie'smom?

I'm up for the boot camp 50 lb weight loss challenge! ('cept we shoulda started the same time our SRs did... not much time now).

Craig: I love the Hooyah!

Comment by Sharon-Proud Sailor Mom on June 9, 2011 at 12:50pm: Just curious - why do the cooling bra inserts come in packages of 3?

Comment by ConnieC on June 9, 2011 at 11:42am: Katiesmom, let me know what technique you are going to use, I need to lose 50 also.

Comment by ConnieC on June 9, 2011 at 11:41am: Hey my bark is way more scary then my bite. Is that what is called passive/aggressive? Lol
Moliana I totally understand about the walking and the heat, heck I might forgo the hat and bra inserts for a cooling suit! I met a girl on my MS website that lives in base house @ G'Lakes, I told her I would cNel my reservations and must stay with her lol. Watch, her husband is probably my SR's RDC.

Comment by Craig on June 9, 2011 at 11:18am: 21 days.... All I have to say is....

Comment by esther22ship02div932PIR7-1 on June 9, 2011 at 11:13am: Seriously?!?! Just looked up and saw the countdown! 21 days!!!! That's soooo exciting! Especially since I'm actually starting my travels for pir the sunday before, so not long at all now!

Comment by Moliana (1142T) on June 9, 2011 at 11:09am: Oh I've already told him twice that I want the DVD :-)

And nah, they don't scare me! I'm big, I'm tough, I can take them!! hehe

Comment by Paula (was Capricorna) on June 9, 2011 at 10:29am: Aw, Moliana, I am sorry to hear about your not being able to attend, but given the circumstances, it is understandable. Be sure to get the DVD of the graduation (or buy a cheap camcorder so the girlfriend can record it for you.

Are you sure you're not just scared off by Diannep, Katie'smom and ConnieC?

Comment by Moliana (1142T) on June 9, 2011 at 10:01am: Good morning, all. Cable/internet was out at the house last night, so I'm just getting caught up.

Unless my SR changes his mind, I will not be attending PIR. When we talked about it, he said he was leaving early Saturday for SC and thought I should wait until I can visit him in A school. I have some health issues that make it difficult for me to walk and the heat is a problem as well. I think the girlfriend will be going and he wants to spend what little time he has with her.
