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."

my friend offered to take me in case his family wouldn't, so I think I can.. I HOPE with all my heart I can go... Being in the navy means so much for him and I want him to know I support him. He'll be going to Florida, I think. Um.. I don't recall many details, I think he said it would be for 4 months or something..
Comment by redpanda320 Ship 07 Div 205 on April 23, 2010 at 9:03pm
oh... I thought there would be.. I guess I might have to call on my friend's offer to take me then if his parents won't take me with them. I'm sorry, I'm new to this and I'm panicking slightly
Comment by redpanda320 Ship 07 Div 205 on April 23, 2010 at 8:57pm
But how do I get in if his family is getting the invites? I'm sorry, I'm just panicking....
Comment by redpanda320 Ship 07 Div 205 on April 23, 2010 at 8:51pm
4 people?? That'd be only his family then! :'(!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Comment by redpanda320 Ship 07 Div 205 on April 23, 2010 at 8:19pm
can someone give me any sort of information?? I'm going crazy... I called my boyfriend's family for his address and graduation date. Got the address, not the graduation date, that I found by luck on here. He's Ship 7 Div 205. His mother said there's a limit as to how many people can go... Before she said I definitely could. but now she's not sure. How many people can go??? I didn't realize how much I counted on seeing him again in June until now...

Go Dogs, have you tried Navygear.com? I did see a Navy Mom front car plate on a site but I was so tired while I was surfing that I don't remember where I saw it. I also tried a Surplus store here in town but it turned out to be mostly antique shop type stuff....vases, salt and pepper shakers, lunch boxes. They had some army camo & boots but even those look old and used. So, if anybody has better info let us know. I'm sure that over the last couple of years I've seen lots of license plate brackets, plates and bumper stickers mentioning sailors and Mom of... Now I'm wondering where they were all purchased.

MV I'm planning on coming out on Wed. night. I have reservations at two hotels, the Ramada and La Quinta. I'm sure we'd like to go to the Meet and Greet. I think after reading the most recent posts I am not going to believe it's gospel that my son is a grad and go because he is going to Charleston.
Comment by Pam on April 23, 2010 at 10:42am
Does anyone know a good website to purchase Navy gear for the car (i.e. Window Flags, magnets and such)?
