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 ram33 on August 2, 2012 at 10:03am: Hi

I'm planning on attending the meet and greet at the Ramada. Does anyone know if kids can kids come. I thought I read it's held at a bar of sorts?? My 11 year old daughter is traveling with us..

Comment by diannep on August 2, 2012 at 8:45am: FlowerGrower: No, they won't go the 18th (Sat.) for Battlestations---they are never held on Fri or Sat nights. But they will have Captains Cup that day...a fun day for all of the divisions. Please message me if you get a definite BattleStations date from him in the future. I'm keeping a schedule. Thanks!

So sorry he is sick...most get sick with the crud when there. I still think it has something to do with all of the shots their systems are flooded with when they arrive, and then the close proximity with all of the other SRs. They get through that. My son was one who never gets sick and he got it too when there. They keep a close eye on them when sick...and they can go to Medical if they need to. But it's hard to know that they feel so badly. Hoping he feels better soon! and can get some sleep (maybe covers over the head to keep the light out of his face!). And, yep....you are just being a totally devoted Mom!

Great news on the babysitting job, Lala!
