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 trisha on September 1, 2010 at 5:22pm: My son said that he would get nothing for a few days and then a bunch of mail. I wrote everyday, but thats not how he got it. Remember, it takes about 5-10 days to get to your SR, as it has to be sorted, but mail sent to you just takes a few days. they do get mail everyday, except on the weekends.

Comment by Rebecca_Marions mom on September 1, 2010 at 4:55pm: Thanks for sharing Dana. My little one and I will have to find some fart cards. I know my sailor will love them. We do. Who can't laugh at fart jokes and farts period. I only have boys so I have no choice but to laugh. Thats all they do...Well and burp too.

Comment by DanaMN ~Kris's Mom~NCTS SanDiego on September 1, 2010 at 2:29pm: I find them by Googling funny pics, silly animals, etc.

Glad they brought some smiles to the group!

Hugs!

Comment by Kelly (Pink) Curtis' Mom on September 1, 2010 at 2:06pm: Thanks for sending the pics and cards! It totally made me laugh!

Comment by Kelly (Pink) Curtis' Mom on September 1, 2010 at 2:02pm: OMG! Dana - I bought that same card for my son!! What a hoot! He's so much better about the newfangled texting than writing for sure!

Comment by timsmom submariner on September 1, 2010 at 1:44pm: Love these...they are so funny....love the casual face!! Where did you get these?

Comment by DanaMN ~Kris's Mom~NCTS SanDiego on September 1, 2010 at 1:43pm: OK... a couple more funny pics to lighten the mood. I sent these in Word doc letters I typed up to my son a while back. "Fart" jokes are so sophomoric... but sorry... they just make me laugh and I know the boy in my Sailor to be will laugh, too ... and LOL Cat pics are a classic. I found the cat photo on the internet and added the caption.

I just can't help but LAUGH at that dog photo... the caption kills me. I didn't think that one up! ;)

Comment by timsmom submariner on September 1, 2010 at 1:40pm: Love the cards you bought! They are funny and they do make me smile. I think I need to go to the card store.

Comment by DanaMN ~Kris's Mom~NCTS SanDiego on September 1, 2010 at 1:33pm: Tracye - ditto! Darn!

Comment by DanaMN ~Kris's Mom~NCTS SanDiego on September 1, 2010 at 1:31pm: Here are a couple more... maybe they'll make you smile. I just giggled when I read them at Hallmark so hopefully my boy will laugh, too. :)
