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 May 28, 2011 at 2:58pm: I hate IE 9, I updated about 3 weeks ago and have had so many problems with it.

Congrat's Jessica now go get a JOB!! lol, J/K.

I am a little sad today. My SR's boyfriend just texted me, he got a ltr and she told him that has only received 1 ltr from me!!! I have blisters on my fingers from writing her, well maybe not blisters, lol. No call because she doesn't have a calling card because she has blond roots and sent it home with her box. I doubled checked the address and I have it correct so don't know what gives. :(

So on that note, NO ONE is allowed to talk about 1. Phone calls 2. Letters, from thier SR until I GET MINE!!! grrrrrr

Oh you all know that I am joking.....

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on May 28, 2011 at 2:34pm: Well that is good to know, but I get some friend request and some messages, sometimes I don't get them at all. I use firefox, so maybe the people who have tried unsuccessfully to send requests and messages to me are the ones using a different browser? Oh, the things that make you go hummmmm :-)

Comment by MNSunshine on May 28, 2011 at 2:00pm: To All having trouble with private messages:

As you know, I had a time of it personalizing our group photo. I finally reported the issue. In the meantime, I was able to solve the problem using a different computer. When I received a private message about the issue from the site administrator, I was unable to respond to it. Luckily, she had included an e-mail address. I responded that way and mentioned my inability to respond to her private message.

She informed me the problem is likely my browser.

Here's what she had to say ...

You mentioned your inbox was not working and a few others have reached out to me
regarding the same issue. Ning, our host site, responded with the
below:

"Sorry to hear your members are experiencing this issue! It sounds
like they might be using a browser that isn't supported, as we've received other
reports of people being unable to send or receive messages, only to find out it
was because they were using Internet Explorer 9. Internet Explorer 9 and Chrome
11.0 are both recently released browser versions that are not at this time
supported on the platform. Please suggest to your members who have reported this
issue that they try accessing the network in a different browser, such as
Firefox or Safari and see if that helps."

Please try a different browser
and let me know how it works.

Comment by 2sailorsonsmom on May 28, 2011 at 1:35pm: Congrats Jessica!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on May 28, 2011 at 1:21pm: Blu- we are renting a house in Key Colony Beach, but we will be going to Key West at least for a day :-) I can't go that far south and not go all the way lol. I am looking forward to it so much. We normally vacation in Pensacola, Appalachicola, or St George Island. We love the pan handle and will retire there someday. Maybe we could just trade houses with someone from there who wants to retire to the mountains of NC lol.

Comment by Moliana (1142T) on May 28, 2011 at 1:04pm: I got a phone call from my SR a little bit ago. Hope everyone gets one soon, it was great hearing his voice after missing him so badly this week.

Comment by BluAnjel NoLongerNavyMom on May 28, 2011 at 12:58pm: phew - finally caught up! now I can't remember what everyone said!! My dtr liked the dentis too and medical, too Lala.... cute corpsman at medical apparently - jeez some things never change!

I love all the stories y'all told about telling people to say stuff in other languages! Lala, you'll LOVE KeyWest (? or just the keys?). My hubby and I went there on our honeymoon 5 years ago and then a few times since at Christmas. It's our absolute favorite place! so many good places to each, and great beaches and the sunsets on the docks.... <sigh> wanna go back! got room in a suitcase? i'll make myself invisible!! haha!

OK, now I AM really going to SEW!! cy'all later! :)

Comment by Moliana (1142T) on May 28, 2011 at 12:52pm: Congratulations, Jessica! Welcome to adulthood :D

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on May 28, 2011 at 11:55am: Congrats Jessica, that is such an important milestone. I am sorry your bf couldn't be there for it but I am glad it wasn't the same weekend as his PIR :-)
