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 Parrothdgal on April 15, 2011 at 5:48pm: I have my grandaughter for the weekend...this helps!! :o)

Comment by LeeLee on April 15, 2011 at 5:38pm: Thank you everyone for your comments and advice I'll be changing her picture now to one of her favorites. The sight said to post a pic of your sailor...so I did...and I should know better...lol. As most know by now my oldest son did five years in the Army. At the time the only group was a yahoo group and at times got very catty...is that how you spell it?

The no communication is the worst that is why I HATE boot camp. Even when my son was in Iraq I talked to him at least once a week and chatted on AIM and FB often. I just have to keep reminding myself this to will pass.

I go into Allies room...I'm going to deep clean it for her for when she gets to come home...I'm guessing Christmas....so I have some time to get it done...lol

I just want to know why it is TAKING FOREVER for that first real letter????

Thanks for listening to me vent.

Comment by Parrothdgal on April 15, 2011 at 5:13pm: I am very proud that my daughter wanted to serve our country. As for the baby being proud.... she tole me to day her Mama is a "super hero.. just without a cape. She is a Navy super hero" Haha how right she is!" We are making apilloe case tonight with iron on pictures of the two of them. Also my profile picture that I drew of the two of them holding hands! I'm so blessed God id good!

Comment by mmiles 11/186 on April 15, 2011 at 3:10pm: This shot was posted on the RTC FB page, but not directly from RTC.

There was no photo of the day posted today..sorry..I looked first thing this am to see, but nothing there!

Comment by jc-navymom on April 15, 2011 at 2:58pm: If anyone has facebook, could you post the picture of the day from the RTC page. I saw a link once, but can't remember which group it was in.

Comment by jc-navymom on April 15, 2011 at 1:41pm: I spent last weekend totally cleaning my daughter's room. I now have a picture-perfect "guest"/computer room. Now it's motivated me to clean up my room as well -- a good project to keep my busy again this weekend :)
