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 diannep on August 24, 2011 at 4:08pm: SO glad that you found it, TXtwins! You had put it in a VERY special place!

Comment by diannep on August 24, 2011 at 4:07pm: Are we 100 percent sure that they went last night rather than going tonight? I know that 2 divisions in 8/26 went last night...I guess time will tell!

Comment by Candace on August 24, 2011 at 4:05pm: If my triplets were boys I would have quit. My boys ran me ragged. Once they grew up though they were easier than the girls...lol

If you want to watch a beautiful video, go to YouTube and put Recruit Training Command Boot Camp Graduation Great Lakes IL in the search bar. Its the first one on the list that comes up. It doesn't have as much of the actually ceremony as the other one and is more personal, but its set to music - the song they play after Battlestations. If you need a good cry to release the tension of this last week, this should do it!

Comment by Deanna on August 24, 2011 at 3:46pm: I recieved 3 letters today! My Sr said gas chamber was tuesday. He also said not to send anymore mail after today he will not get it

Comment by towermom on August 24, 2011 at 3:39pm: Keep your phones handy - they will be calling soon.

Comment by Erinaday (Ship 13 DIV 265) on August 24, 2011 at 3:38pm: hopefully soon Mapes.

Comment by mapes on August 24, 2011 at 2:41pm: Shouldnt we be getting "IM A SAILOR CALLS"?????

Comment by Jenelle on August 24, 2011 at 1:14pm: Txtwins...are you going to the M&G at the Ramada?

I'll be there...oh, and all you Mom's that are going to the M&G, please put your screen name on your name tag as well as your name so we can recognize each other!

The M&G a few weeks back was difficult to know who was who!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on August 24, 2011 at 8:35am: all the time he is good txtwins :-) So glad you found it. I do stuff like that a lot. I usually tell one of the kids where I am putting something so if I can find it and ask if they have seen it they can tell me where I put it lol. Their memories are a lot better than mine.

Candace that is quite an impressive family you have :-) And triplets first? Most would stop after that lol. My twin brothers were born when I was 13 months old. (my dad told Mom she couldn't get pregnant while breast feeding!!! WRONG lol) Mom said when they start coming in pairs it is time to quit lol.
