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 Debbie on January 21, 2010 at 10:54pm
Sarah's mom - LOL - you are probably right!!
Comment by Debbie on January 21, 2010 at 10:46pm
I guess I am going to have send a note out to family and friends to put all their letters for the week in one envelope....
Comment by Debbie on January 21, 2010 at 10:45pm
Oh my Colleen - the comment about having to do push ups to earn the privilege to open the letters - I will bet that my Matt is doing extra extra push ups!! I rallied family and friends to write him and boy, have they written him!!!

Thank you, yes it is. But this group discussion really helps. I just told Frank in a letter that she broke her leg but she is fine. My mother-in-law writes him and I was afraid she would tell him all the trouble my mom is having.

Ship 7 Div 106 also!
Comment by momofthree on January 21, 2010 at 10:06pm
Got a letter today. He is doing good, said he can't wait to see us at graduation. I have not been on here lately trying to catch up. My mom fell Monday and broke her leg, Tuesday surgery, and today seizure from pain medicine. She was ok when I left the hospital. Very bad week for me and the letter helped more ways than I can say
Comment by Debbie on January 21, 2010 at 10:03pm
Oh how nice Colleen! I have two boys, also. My younger one is the one at GL - he is 24. My older son is 26 (o my goodness!). He lives in Maine and he will be joining us for his brother's graduation. Can't wait to see him, too! Glad to hear that you are proud of your boys! You should be proud of yourself as well. Not easy to be a single mom.....
Comment by Debbie on January 21, 2010 at 9:51pm
BTW Colleen - nice profile pic!! you and the boys!! You have two?
Comment by Debbie on January 21, 2010 at 9:49pm
Happy for you Colleen! Can't wait to hear from mine....
