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 Gata11(ship7/Div288) on August 11, 2010 at 12:05am: haha that's hilarious trishar! I totally stalk my mail man! Everyday I'm waiting by the mailbox when I hear him driving down the street. He's gotten used to me. I give him bottled waters in exchange for dealing with me being so crazy. haha.

Comment by trisha on August 10, 2010 at 11:47pm: The RTC is up and running.

Comment by KristinaR(Divison 285) on August 10, 2010 at 11:35pm: Okay because I probably be in comfy wear and didnt want to be out of place.

The pools are crazy

Comment by trisha on August 10, 2010 at 11:29pm: KristinaR - we will be traveling that day and going straight to the meet and greet, so I for one, will be on the casual/comfy side.

I saw that about the dumpsters. Funny, we have a pool and haven't been in it for a few weeks, temp in the pool is 92 and is like swimming in bath water. Actually waiting for it to cool down to swim.

Comment by trisha on August 10, 2010 at 11:27pm: Charlies mom - regarding communication, what Casey told me is that alot of them, himself included, are just tired and use that "free time" to catch some winks. While I get letters, they are brief and not alot of substance. Also, if there is a girlfriend, she may be getting priority. Just think, in a little over 2 weeks, you will see him. My son is a horrible communicator, getting any information out of him is like teaching a cat to swim, darn near impossible. The questionaires people are taking about, type in letters and questionaiers and some will pull up that others have used in the past.

PHoenix moms - Casey tells me that there are 7 in the 941 division from the general Phoenix area. Way to represent our little state!

Comment by KristinaR(Divison 285) on August 10, 2010 at 11:22pm: I know this aint about PIR but i couldnt believe in NYC they turned dumpsters into swimming pools. Crazy huh

Comment by KristinaR(Divison 285) on August 10, 2010 at 11:18pm: Yea thats what I was wondering because some say it is so bad they feel it for a week some say just for a few. Is the meet and greet casual wear?

Comment by KJ's MOM, Ken's Proud Mom, Cathy on August 10, 2010 at 11:15pm: First of all, Kristina, it is really nothing with the mammogram. It isn't really all not that painful and over before you know it, it is over. Many times others over exaggerate what really happens.
