OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

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 JDM on June 12, 2012 at 5:03pm: Betsy, son on stennis carrier...do you get flack from your family for your lists? My son wanted to know why i was worrying when it is over a month away...lol they just dont get it:-) i laugh at him and tell him that as soon as i quit the list making something will be forgotten

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on June 12, 2012 at 4:13pm: JDM & Dianne, I just got home from running errands on my list, lol.

Comment by JDM on June 12, 2012 at 4:01pm: Exactly Diannep, plus sometimes trying to make sure five people all get everything they need gathered for the trip makes me feel like i am trying to herd rabbits....everyone going in a different direction..lol :-) the list helps keep them corraled

Comment by diannep on June 12, 2012 at 3:25pm: You're welcome JDM....I am a list-maker myself! Helps to keep my thougts organized....checking off the things as I do them gives me "POWER!" HOOYAH!

Comment by JDM on June 12, 2012 at 10:44am: Diannep, thank you for the heads up. I was actually thinking about that yesterday and wondered if it would be cool inside or not. Wanting to make sure the girls are dressed approperately.guess i will put sweaters on their list of clothes. Lists are my way of feeling like ihave some cotrol over this...lol

Comment by JDM on June 12, 2012 at 10:41am: Betsy, son on Stennis. Thanks, i'm not going to go that far but i'm thinking she should hold her own. I'm just very proud of the woman she has become, she has been around our family since she was 16, she is an older recruit and has two girls at home so it was a hard decision for her to make to join up. I'm proud of my son for stepping up and becoming "mom" while she does this. I have been blessed with good kids and i tend to brag about them :-)

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on June 12, 2012 at 10:26am: navyknit, I was living in NM when my son was in BC and my letter day was also Thurs. JDM, sounds like your son did a great job. I bet she is outshining the guys.

Comment by diannep on June 12, 2012 at 8:33am: Good morning!

Just a headsup from some who were at PIR last week that the PIR Hall can get a bit chilly so bring a light jacket/sweater!

Comment by JDM on June 12, 2012 at 12:56am: Thanks patrat :-) i'm really proud of her, she is definately a child of my heart. She is a strong woman

Comment by JDM on June 12, 2012 at 12:54am: Lala my son was helping her get in shape before she left, they had been doing the obstcle runs where they lived so it wouldn't surprise me if she out did some of the guys :-)
