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 maussie64 on April 28, 2010 at 6:19pm: It was great to talk to you too Lynne. I look forward to pictures. I have some of our two holding flags. But, they are distance shots and their faces unrecognizable.
Side note: I find it interesting that the female dress blues are not the crackerjacks, but their dress whites are.
Does anyone know when sailors began having to pay for their uniforms?

Comment by maussie64 on April 28, 2010 at 5:35pm: I thought GL/ Waukegan was beautiful. I expected it to be much colder. Could have done without the gray skies and drizzles though.
Of course, I am from overcrowded so Cal.

Comment by Oneofalot on April 28, 2010 at 5:08pm: li1422 sailor mom, I agree with you. It was cold in GL and I live in Seattle were it is wet and cold most of the year, but GL was even colder than that.

Comment by lj1422 (Josh's mom) on April 28, 2010 at 5:04pm: Barb, will definately keep him in our prayers!!!

Jean, I was very happy to get back to Florida weather myself...was to cold in GL.

Comment by barb ( rachel's mom) on April 28, 2010 at 5:03pm: he is very stubborn and pretty much does what he wants i have someone that is going to discuss this further with him he is in denial about how sick he is and needs help. working closely with his mother

Comment by Oneofalot on April 28, 2010 at 3:58pm: Cathy, I agree I don't like O'hara airport. I had a lot of time waiting for my flight. It was delayed because of bad weather. When we finally got on the plane we got to sit on the runway for over a hour waiting to leave. I came in very late Sunday ( Monday Morning).

Comment by Oneofalot on April 28, 2010 at 12:39pm: Rachel's mom, sorry to hear that. I will pray that he will do what has to be done.

Comment by barb ( rachel's mom) on April 28, 2010 at 12:36pm: YES HE IS TYPE ONE AND DOES NOT TAKE VERY GOOD CARE OF HIMSELF THEY DID NOT HAVE INSURANCE SO WAS USING OVER THE COUNTER INSULIN WHICH IS NOT STRONG ENOUGH HE IS VERY ILL AND NOW EFFECTING OTHER ORGANS. PLEASE PRAY SO HARD FOR HIM TO SURRENDAR AND DO WHAT HE NEEDS TO DO. LETS JUST SAY HE IS STUBBORN. :-)

Comment by Oneofalot on April 28, 2010 at 11:39am: Good Morning Everyone. I got a call from my daughter, she made it to Florida and loves the weather. It was great to hear her voice being sort of back to normal, not boot camp voice.(LOL)
