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 ConnieC on June 3, 2011 at 8:24am: Dianne, I had to read this twice, I thought you had written "Katiesmom thinks on her big feet". I think I need to go back to bed!

Comment by diannep on June 3, 2011 at 8:15am: esther: I'm sure that katiesmom can solve your issue on PIR morning...because i can tell that she thinks on her feet big time! :-)

Not sure about dropping off like that. Not sure he could turn around and get where he needs to. Might be better for you all to just park.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on June 3, 2011 at 5:50am: I think you all will appreciate these!

Good reading during your Battlestation wait!

Comment by ConnieC on June 3, 2011 at 4:55am: What a way to start off an unexpected early morning then with belly laughs from ALL of you. We need to write a book, of course we would have to change the names to protect the innocent.
Blu, how is your daughter doing?

Comment by esther22ship02div932PIR7-1 on June 2, 2011 at 11:07pm: Alright, another question. It looks like because of car seats I will need to drive to the graduation from our hotel. Would it make any sense to have my father in law drive us to the base and drop me, my kids, and my mil off??? If this would get us out of crazy parking then great. But if it would mean alot of extra walking, I think I'd rather park. Anyone have any advise? or suggestions?

Comment by esther22ship02div932PIR7-1 on June 2, 2011 at 10:29pm: HAHAHA! Seriously can't wait to meet you! I wasn't really planning on going to the meet and greet before today, BUT switched my hotel reservation (for multiple reasons) to Ramada and will def. be there!!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on June 2, 2011 at 10:03pm: Lol, that is funny sailor wife, and yep all that from my cell, of course it is easier that I have a smart phone, sprint droid, if you have never seen or used swype you should get the app it is so cool for touch screen phones.

Comment by corpsmanwifeschu on June 2, 2011 at 9:56pm: These posts have been great coming home to. No letter for me today, but I was expecting that. It was nice to see all of the shenanigans going on here. At the Ramada, underneath their sign that advertises the meet and greet, we should have them put "One night only: The comedic stylings of Katie's Mom!"

I keep picture bulk down by making the little 4x6 collages you can do on the Kodak Kiosk. You can get nine pictures in one. I've been taking a picture of the day for hubby, so he can feel connected to what is going on at home. I did send loose photos with his birthday, anniversary, and father's day cards, but they are still small, wallet sized.

In his call yesterday he said his RDC's requested that I keep sending the little blue envelopes as they are easy to chuck across the room. He also gets quite a few of them, so anything that makes it easier, I'll do.

I thought it was funny today. I have a necklace that says "You are my strength. You are my courage to carry me on." It was in the note that hubby left in the box. I also work as a driving skills coach, teaching defensive driving to primarily teenagers. A lady came up to me today, while I was wearing my work shirt, and asked if the necklace was a reminder to have courage and strength doing what I do. I laughed cause I never thought that the two could go together. I told her I've been doing it for nine years, if I still needed courage and strength to get me through the day, I'd be way more frazzeled than I am.

I know, kinda random...
