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 Andysmom on November 27, 2010 at 12:49am: Tammie...forgot to respond. Yes, Jessica is the one who saw Tony limping. I was friends with Sheboygan Navy Recruit center and saw her post. That's how we got to be Facebook friends. Then Andy told me he was going to have his first beer with her to celebrate his 21st birthday. That's awesome. It'll be a lifetime friendship between all these recruits from Sheboygan. They are all pretty tight it seems. I think Andy is the youngest of them all.

Comment by Andysmom on November 27, 2010 at 12:45am: Tammie..I sent you a friend request on Facebook. Monica....Join Facebook..lol. I got to talk to Andy for about 5 minutes on Thanksgiving on my lunch break at work. We talked about the "chit". I saw on Facebook (when I got home) that he had posted, "Applebees Thanksgiving". Did he just have duty in the am? I'm so glad you guys took him with you. And they are super happy to have moved. Too bad Tyler, Andy and Tony couldn't all room together. LOL. I really hope they get their requests approved soon! The airline prices are going up and up!

Comment by firemansmom(S7/DIV357) on November 25, 2010 at 10:28pm: Everyone check out newsfed on Recruit Training Command site..I'm getting it on their facebook page...I am overwhelmed!!! Great Lakes community took in 1500 recruits today and gave them a traditional Thanksgiving day! Treated them to feasts, football on tv, movies...and coolest of all unlimited phone use on donated cell phones!!! I am bawling reading it!

Comment by Lynne on November 24, 2010 at 6:02pm: Thank you Lisa...I love Austin...pretty place...my pastor from here is now a pastor at a Presbyterian church there....greatest preacher I ever had...phenomenal teacher...

Comment by Lynne on November 24, 2010 at 6:02pm: Is he allowed to go to medical...the trick is they can't take that stuff without a prescription...not even a cough drop...so ask him if he can go to medical

Comment by mimi on November 24, 2010 at 5:05pm: Monica---we met with the pastor every week for 4 weeks, on the 3rd week he told us we didn't have to come back --he thought we had our stuff together. We should of, we were together over 3 yrs before we got married. We didn't live together he had his [place and I had mine. We have been married for 26years and still diggin' each other!!!!!!!

Comment by Lisa (MMNuke Mom) on November 24, 2010 at 1:31pm: Hey Lynne - welcome back to TX!!! I'm not in Ft. Worth anymore (moved to Austin area 2 yrs ago), but my sis is still in Dallas. When will you move? (see, I am still on here! LOL)

Comment by Lynne on November 24, 2010 at 1:28pm: Sunny...I lived in Arlington too...I got my Masters there at UTA...I loved Arlington

Comment by Andysmom on November 24, 2010 at 1:23pm: Andy's going out for a beer with a fellow sailor girl from NE WI. She is in Pensacola and moving to Whidby Island soon. They got to know each other through the Sheboygan Recruit Center. So glad for him because he "celebrated" his 21st birthday in boot camp....Yep some celebration, huh?? Tammie...Did I ask you if you are on Facebook? Maybe we can get together with the boys over Christmas break. TTYL. And Monica...Andy told me about Ty too. It's awesome. They should be Phase III by Christmas break!
