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 Laura (Ship 7 Div 355 PIR 11/5) on September 19, 2010 at 10:57pm: @Lynne, what do you mean beat the for a flag. Is this something like capture the flag?

Comment by Lynne on September 19, 2010 at 10:55pm: I see what you are talking about...I thought they had their first competition and another division beat them for a flag..lol....oh my goodness....I hope she comes back and clarifies....lol

Comment by Lynne on September 19, 2010 at 10:54pm: I don't think they are being physically beat....how funny I just sent you a long message...I was trying to go through all our members and send messages....lol

Comment by navymom x 2 on September 19, 2010 at 10:46pm: ok now I am confused..I thought the beatings meant that they had to do physical exercise?..I do know it doesn't mean that they are physically beating them like my daughter thought..LOL.

Comment by Lynne on September 19, 2010 at 10:32pm: Oh my so much chat all the sudden...I am so excited was feeling lonely...lol Okay J. Leahy is the author of the book and yes it is Honor, Commitment and Courage. I have laughed and cried reading it.

You are so lucky you got a call. I would give anything for a call, but the RDCs told Cardinal company six weeks on the bus going to boot camp which is how I found out when their PIR was so I am not holding out hope although I am glued to the phone!! So Mr. RDC if you are reading this...I am sure you are doing a great job with my son and I would certainly like to hear it in person from him...LOL and no I won't tell you who he is!!

Glad I am not the only one who hasn't moved the box, okay I even smelled the shoes, that only lasted a second, but listen to this our dog jumped in the box, so I put one my son's shirts in there and now the dog gets in there and sleeps - it is so pitiful! T-Carp who beat them do you know and which flag was it??

Comment by navymom x 2 on September 19, 2010 at 10:14pm: Laura..yes I still have my sons box in living room where I opened it..minus the dirty clothes of course..my husband did make the comment..I have seen you look in that box several times what are you going to do with it..LOL

Comment by navymom x 2 on September 19, 2010 at 10:11pm: Tcarp happy for you that you got a call..funny about the comment got beat tonight..when my son-law was in bootcamp (over a year ago) he wrote my daughter and said that he hated the beatings..she cryed and said dad they are beating them...then she learned it was PT..that still makes me smile!

Comment by Laura (Ship 7 Div 355 PIR 11/5) on September 19, 2010 at 10:07pm: @Lynne, are you reading Honor, Courage and commitment? I think I read something about that yesterday. Sounds interesting. Who's the author?

Comment by Laura (Ship 7 Div 355 PIR 11/5) on September 19, 2010 at 10:06pm: I haven't been able to paint yet. I told him I was going to, but since he drew and painted a mural on one of his walls I can't come to paint it yet. Didn't like it when he was here, but now it doesn't seem so bad.

Comment by Laura (Ship 7 Div 355 PIR 11/5) on September 19, 2010 at 10:03pm: @Navymomx2, too funny you say that. I have straightened up his room, but haven't been able to move the car he drove and when I unpacked the kid in a box i set his tennis shoes on the kitchen floor, haven't been able to move them yet. We have to go into his room often to feed his animals.
