OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

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 diannep on August 25, 2012 at 9:51pm: "yelled at ME" not "my!"

Comment by diannep on August 25, 2012 at 9:49pm: Ha! Thanks Jodi and sandrar. Too late....got on the ladder, onto the roof, and finished the last seven 2nd story windows....aluminum panels I had to put in, hammering in the S clips. Balancing on the edge of the roof to get the last clips in was a little tricky! :-) My son yelled at my on my cell (had it in my pocket) to get off the roof. Well, too bad. He was busy installing shutters at work...so I had to. I did call a neighbor to hold the ladder while I got down...it was a bit unsteady. But I T I S DONE! Now...to wait for the weather. Thanks for the prayers!

Congrats to the Captains Cup winners today!

sandrar: YAH on the passed run! Wonderful news!

Comment by nursecat(ship 2/ DIV 942) on August 25, 2012 at 7:21pm: Congrats 942!! Way to go!! I hope my SR gets to call home!!!!

Comment by sandrar on August 25, 2012 at 7:15pm: Be careful on the ladder dinnep - hope you dont have to do it but prayin like crazy all the same - my sr called to - he passed his run test tuesday! I feel so much better now on to Battel Stations and PIR!

Comment by Jodi (Britta Ship 03 DIV 277) on August 25, 2012 at 6:33pm: Thank you julielind for the update on the Captaitain's Cup. I bet they had a ball!!!

Comment by julielind on August 25, 2012 at 6:17pm: CONGRATULATIONS TO DIVISION 942 FOR WINNING CAPTAIN'S CUP TODAY. Also Division 276 stay close to your phones Tuesday. Got my call from my SR today. Navy Hugs to all

Comment by Jodi-alumni Ship 4 on August 25, 2012 at 5:36pm: diannep, sending prayers your way. Please be careful and don't get on that ladder unless you HAVE to. We need you healthy for future moms. Take care.

Comment by diannep on August 25, 2012 at 4:28pm: Thanks, sandrar. No, haven't heard of a definite date. I would say to be ready for calls either Mon afternoon or Tues afternoon.

Please pray that my son gets home to help me do the 2nd story shutters! Ugh~ Starting to get nervous. He was helping me, but was called into work to help their executives get boarded up....sigh. May have to get innovative here to do it myself. Pray that I don't fall off the ladder! :-)

Comment by sandrar on August 25, 2012 at 11:06am: Praying for you diannep will be watching the Storm from GA and praying for you and your neighbors. Thank you so much for the info on the cup. we still do not know a definate date for 276 BS right?
