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 proudmom (ship 11 div 252) on July 16, 2012 at 11:52am: Lala not sure when we'll be back that way... I would love to come this fall! Will let you know when we come! :-)

Comment by diannep on July 16, 2012 at 11:44am: Thanks for the offer from the airport, Lala! I will keep that in mind!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on July 16, 2012 at 11:34am: When you are coming back please let me know and maybe we can meet for lunch :-)

Comment by proudmom (ship 11 div 252) on July 16, 2012 at 11:15am: Amen Lala Ribbon Queen! I LOVE the NC mountains! So much beauty and history! I'm ready to go back to the Grove Park Inn!! It's only a 6 hour drive for me!!! :-) BTW ... Love the squirrel

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on July 16, 2012 at 9:45am: For anyone who has never been to the mountains of NC it is well worth the trip. A wonderful vacation spot. Brevard is the prettiest town I have ever seen. It really amazes me that I live here and always have :-) It won an award a couple years ago for the Prettiest small town in America. There street dances every week in the summer and lots and lots of festivals. And of course the Blue ridge mountains with so much to see and do. We even have white squirrels :-) Here is a pic I took on my front porch. It sounds like I am a travel agent lol. Diannep I will gladly pick you up at the airport :-)

Comment by diannep on July 16, 2012 at 7:52am: seamonkey: Lala lives in the lovely Blue Ridge Mtns of NC! I think we all need to make a visit to see her! I have family in Asheville but don't make it up there often to see them. In fact, it's been about 16 yrs! Just such a LONG drive from the southern tip of FL...takes 7 hours just to get out of the state...ugh!

Good morning all!

Comment by my2boyz (ship 11 div 131) on July 16, 2012 at 12:55am: Thanks Lala- That birthday menu sounds delicious. Where do you live? Lol!! Happy birthday to your daughter. Hope it was a great day.
No phones this weekend. Maybe this week. Good luck everyone.
