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 crystaldj1972 6/915 on February 19, 2010 at 12:15pm: Bittersweetmomma how about HappyGoLucky

Comment by crystaldj1972 6/915 on February 19, 2010 at 12:11pm: Hey all. I think I am finally awake enough to be out of bed. I just spent two hours reading 20 pages that have been written since I was on here last. Wow at so much stuff that has happened. Seems like when it rains it pours!. I am sorry to hear about the mishaps of everyones loved ones. Saying extra prayers for you all. May God keep us and our loved ones safe and heal those that are hurting.

Update- Floppy Sue has been laid to rest. We are no longer mourning. In her place we have brought home two new wonderful and perfect twins. Would love to post a pic of them but I think I'll keep them all to myself. Sorry. I am having some pain but the demerol is taking care of that for the most part. The most uncomfortable part is the ace bandage that is wrapped from my belly button to my armpits. Makes it hard to breathe. Thanks everyone for your prayers!
The pictures posted are so sweet. From the turtles to the baby, to the ribbons. Keep up the good work everyone!

I am heading back to bed, but will check back in in a couple hours.
