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 bonniern PIR 10/1 nukesMM 1102a on September 15, 2010 at 2:03am: Hello everyone, I am finally home and unpacked! Tomorrow after work I can start concentrating on PIR prep. I did get a letter that said my sons are G&G, both got MM rating. Will go to GC to hurry up and wait for A school. One of my sons made a good friend with another Nuke and sent me his name. I would guess he is also going to be G&G.

I cant wait!!!!!!!

Comment by Bella on September 15, 2010 at 1:49am: Omg I love you!!! Thanks so much. I am doing our home office in all Navy stuff. It will be our "pride" room:)

Comment by LTLY on September 15, 2010 at 1:10am: Thanks for all the "luv" on my pic!
It has been a crazy day here, had to put new wheels on the car...who knew wheels can cause flat tires?! I was tired of putting air in the tires twice a day in the TX heat w/ the kids in the car, so I bit the bullet and had them replaced. Giving God the glory for for making it financially possible! Oh, and my amazing future sailor!!!
Gnight all! Another exciting day tomorrow...praying for an immediate opening for Bible Study Fellowship!
Another Day, Another Victory!

Comment by Bella on September 15, 2010 at 1:06am: LTL- I would love one of those wax melters!!! Do you have a link or whatever to it???

Comment by Kat Q on September 14, 2010 at 11:55pm: Just got in, hand tired typing slowly. Recovered seat covers on dining room chairs for my son's girlfriends house as a surprise to her. She starts college on Friday and will be moving in on Thurs. My husband and my SR before he left, renovated it for her and her grandmother. Still working on the finishing touches.

LTLY - love the picture - so creative. Your children are adorable.

Jane and JMom - thank you for your awesome posts. Very moving both of them.

OMG - 16 days and a few hours. Woo hoo!
