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 Stacie - Sailor Logan's Mom on April 22, 2010 at 8:54pm: I have a bunch of those pictures too. My dad use to be a photographer for the Spokesman Review. When news was light he always had us posing for pictures to run some sort of human interest story, We were so tired of being chased around by the camera. But today I wouldn't trade those photos for anything.
FYI... In the mid 60's if you every saw a picture of a girl standing with an clear umbrella in a rain storm,,,that was me and it really wasn't raining... I was standing under our lawn sprinkler.

Comment by Bren's Mom (Andrea) on April 22, 2010 at 8:49pm: ok, Iam really laughing out loud!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I made the comment when i seen the group picture that everyone looked afraid. It reminded me of when I was growing up and we had a family picture taken...my Dad always put the fear of God into all of us if we didnt behave and smile....so in every picture we always sported the "scared smile" Ü

Comment by Stacie - Sailor Logan's Mom on April 22, 2010 at 8:42pm: That makes me feel better. I kind of felt that way when I was looking at their Division group picture. So many of them looked so much alike. To be honest it looked as though it was a picture of a local asylum with a graduating group of electric shock patients.

Comment by Bren's Mom (Andrea) on April 22, 2010 at 8:38pm: ok, now I don't feel so bad Stacie!! When we were at graduation I thought I spotted Bren a dozen different times in the crowd... I started crying each time & then felt like an idiot when my family would confirm it wasnt him!!!

Comment by Stacie - Sailor Logan's Mom on April 22, 2010 at 8:27pm: OMG Andrea I was just on the phone with Logan's girlfriend and was having her look at the picture you took of the Sailors at the airport going to A school. IT"S NOT MY SON. How embarrassing that I can't even recognize my own son. Apparently the stripes on Logan’s uniform are red. I do remember looking at him saying “Boy if Logan is 6’7” how tall are the Sailors standing next to him. Maybe it was wishful thinking.

Comment by Bren's Mom (Andrea) on April 22, 2010 at 8:06pm: LOL... that's what the NEX is for Ü

Comment by Stacie - Sailor Logan's Mom on April 22, 2010 at 7:49pm: What about my nose plugs. You know I can't swim without them.

Comment by Bren's Mom (Andrea) on April 22, 2010 at 7:48pm: LOL... k, they should be there at 10 am...oh & I threw in your swimming suit & goggles!!! Ü
