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."

Thanks Joyceann.that helps. I will type it out b/c if she calls on my cell it will be hard to get to my contacts & relay info. to her. Her brother is a minor so probably not him..I'm thinking.
Comment by joyceann on November 28, 2010 at 3:59pm
You need immediate family-brother, sister, mom/dad, step's or half's, and we had to have either 4 or 5 friends--not related!!! Can be family friends, teachers, neighbors, etc., as long as they are not related.

Joyceann:How many addresses & phone #'s do you need and of whom specifically? Just family or family and friends, employers? Thanks for the input.
Comment by joyceann on November 28, 2010 at 3:51pm
We had a problem also with the names, addresses and phone #'s. I would suggest that you get those typed out and keep a copy with you at all times until you hear from her again. My son called once for them and we were 30 miles from home and then called a second time and we were at a restaurant. If you have them with you, then your bases are covered. It was nice getting to hear from my son a little extra, but I'm sure my not having those addresses when he needed them added extra stress for him.

Very Cute! Remember to get it bigger than you think..they grow out of everything fast! Especially the newborn size...sometimes they never get a chance to wear it.
Comment by bluewarriorlady on November 28, 2010 at 3:44pm
Thinking of purchasing this for the little one. What do you think?

Also..do any of you know any good websites for newborn clothes with Navy stuff on it?
Comment by navyfam on November 28, 2010 at 3:35pm
Thanks Jessica! I sent you a message as well. You can disregard that! We were debating about going to church...everybody tired and our son not feeling good. So hubby & I go & about the time we were walking out she called and so phone being on vibrate I didn't feel it!
Comment by navyfam on November 28, 2010 at 3:23pm
Thanks Jessica B! Is that a good thing or a bad thing? Or who knows?
Comment by AshJewell on November 28, 2010 at 3:21pm
Thanks Bluewarriorlady! I'm so happy to know I'm not the only one feeling this way. I count down the days on a huge calendar I made, and sometimes it helps other times it depresses me because it seems to far away! 46 days should go fast, esp thru the holidays!
Comment by bluewarriorlady on November 28, 2010 at 3:20pm
navyfam- It's not your fault! None of us knew what number would show up on the caller ID. I'm pretty sure everything is ok. And same to you, joyceann! We can't be so hard on ourselves. Anything could've happened that could've prevented you taking the call. Heck, my cell reception sucks...so if my husband calls I could be staring at the phone and it may not ring. :-( Hang in there! They will call again. I will pray on it!
