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."

Carly we are in the same boat dont worry, It will work out, I definatly dont mind waiting for you. we do not have to pay for the taxi until we get to waukegan, hope that is the area you are staying. My rent a car is only $100.00 SO STILL WANT THAT... but this is a just in case. "Anyways" (as Ellen says)

Comment by NavymomGG on January 3, 2011 at 4:27pm: Theresa had found information on challenge coins but it might be back a few pages..

Comment by kimberli61 on January 3, 2011 at 4:16pm: Oh, ok NavyMom....I was just wondering if there was a special medallion or something Navy-ish. lol..My boy isn't a techy nor does he read alot (unlike his mom). He's a laid back surfer dude...gnarly huh? Maybe just that his wife, child, mom, dad and stepdad are coming will be enough if I can't figure something out.

Comment by cb on January 3, 2011 at 4:13pm: I got mine a FLIP. Hoping he'll be able to take it with him. If not, I've loaded it with videos of home for him to see before he leaves for SD.

Comment by CarlyRae (ship12div034) on January 3, 2011 at 4:12pm: I hate to have you waiting around but I could give you 35 cash when I got there?

Comment by CarlyRae (ship12div034) on January 3, 2011 at 4:11pm: theresa- that would be perfect!!! however, doesnt your flight get in at noon? mine doesnt get in till 230?

Comment by NavymomGG on January 3, 2011 at 4:04pm: Six of us going to graduation IS his gift..hahaha..for Christmas he got the new ipod touch (4th generation) which has facetime,facebook,lots of games,music etc..his birthday is right after graduation so we are getting him a nice camera..if they like to read, the Kindle with 3g and wifi is great too..just some suggestions..keeping in mind that space and portability will be a consideration for a long time....

Comment by kimberli61 on January 3, 2011 at 3:56pm: If this question is too personal, you don't have to answer..but I was wondering what you all were getting your recruit (gift wise) for graduation. It completely slipped my mind with all of the other excitement going on and NOW I need to drop and punt! Help!! :)

Comment by D~W~G on January 3, 2011 at 3:43pm: Ok Carly, this is what I found out. Shuttle (847-689-1050) from airport is 60.00 to waukegan 1.00 for extra adults. we could split it if you want. I will pay 40.00 ? You can pay 21.00 does that work for you. Dont be afraid to say no. I just hate renting a car then watching it sit and I pay. Let me know girl!
