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 Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on July 27, 2012 at 8:42am: Good Morning Navy Family :-)

Comment by diannep on July 27, 2012 at 8:22am: em'smom: I think you booked the right way. They don't fly out on Fri night but could early Sat morning. But you never know. Plans can change. They could be there until Sunday. You can always sightsee in the area if your sailor leaves earlier. That's what we did (we didn't fly back until Sunday).

Personally, I would at least stay until Sunday if you decide not to stay until Monday.

Good morning all!

Comment by sharbear36(ship 9 div 288) on July 26, 2012 at 11:55pm: Well your lucky for one thing and that the rooms are cheap. I don't know what to tell you on arrangements because changing a flight is expensive. i would definitely stay the time that you are because if you don't have that time, that is one thing but if you do have the weekend and you only stay for a night or two knowing you could have more, that would be rough to leave. That's tough I know I don't know what others do.

Comment by happyfeet(ship 09/Div 288) on July 26, 2012 at 11:04pm: Im booked from Thurs-Monday. I have no idea how to make up my mind about this. I'm told that Pensacola shippers only have until Friday evening. On the other hand I also hear it's a possibility she will stay the weekend. How the heck do I choose??? Need to know cuz I'm going to have to eventually make travel arrangements! HELP!!

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on July 26, 2012 at 10:44pm: Proudmomof2, Woohoo! You hit the jackpot today with letters.

Comment by sharbear36(ship 9 div 288) on July 26, 2012 at 10:32pm: How many nights are you booked for? I did 2 just in case

Comment by happyfeet(ship 09/Div 288) on July 26, 2012 at 10:25pm: There you go :) I am looking forward to getting together with everyone!

Comment by sharbear36(ship 9 div 288) on July 26, 2012 at 8:54pm: 2 nights booked at Navy Lodge :)

Comment by diannep on July 26, 2012 at 5:00pm: Congrats on the letters today, ladies!

Comment by Proudmomof2navysailors Div 285 on July 26, 2012 at 4:51pm: I got 2 letters today!! One from each of my sons!!!!!!! I could hear their voices in my head as I read them. They were short letters but full of sooo much! I will probably read them 10 times a day until I get new ones. Lol I hope you all are about to receive letters as well. :)
