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 KLMkathy on October 30, 2010 at 4:26pm: Dianne, thank you so much for those kind words. Since my son left Monday it is hard to stay away from here. This is a work in progress and I have alot of help here. I am grateful that there are moms like you that support all of us. Hugs, K

Comment by diannep on October 30, 2010 at 4:25pm: ....sorry for the grammatical errors below....geez! Meant to say dog loverS and "It IS just me and my 2 pups...." Where are my glasses when I need them???? :-)

Comment by diannep on October 30, 2010 at 4:24pm: Ahhhh. Betsy....I can tell you all are dog lover too! My husband was even a vet! It just me and my 2 pups now in the "empty nest." Aren't dogs THE BEST????

Comment by diannep on October 30, 2010 at 4:22pm: KLM: Glad you changed the title for now... just in case someone else wanted to start a 12/17 group (by someone who is not on this group)...it gets confusing when more than one group is started for same PIR date. Now it comes up in "latest" groups if they look for 12/17.

Thanks for leading your group! It is a big job, but it is so rewarding. Jessica and I have led a couple...loved it. Looks like you are a very connected leader...checking in often...which is great. Please let me know if I can ever help...especially when Jess is working and not on here. Good luck!

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on October 30, 2010 at 4:18pm: diannep, thanks. Would you believe that did actually send him pictures today of the dogs, even before I got the letter? One of them has on a Navy cap and the other had on a Navy t-shirt. lol It was on plain paper, no bulkiness. :)

Comment by KLMkathy on October 30, 2010 at 4:17pm: Betsy, I am so happy for you. All four dogs, lol. K

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on October 30, 2010 at 4:15pm: Donna, thanks I hope we do too.
diannep, I love the picture. He's very handsome.

A was one of the first to leave this week, so if he is 12/17, I would think most would be also?

Comment by diannep on October 30, 2010 at 4:15pm: Betsy: I'm sure Jessica has already told you all that it is better to scan pictures onto a sheet of paper (front and back, or back of a letter) to send to recruits rather than separate piks that take up lots of their storage space (they have very little)...and draws attention to "fat" envelopes. right? But they do LOVE pictures. Mine loved receiving his dog pictures too!

Comment by KLMkathy on October 30, 2010 at 4:13pm: I love your photo. Well now I will just change it Monday when we know for sure. K

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on October 30, 2010 at 4:12pm: I forgot to tell you, that there is a personal comment at the bottom. He says "The first day was tough, but not too bad. It's kind of like high school, except angrier (he went to a private school, lol). We got our camo today, it looks awesome. Tell everyone to write me. Love, A. P.S Send pictures of the dogs (all 4, that includes his brother's dog lol)
