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."

Colleen - love your ribbons! Nice job!
Comment by Debbie on February 18, 2010 at 12:41pm
Me with long hair ( and with my hubby) and before my braces were put on!!! Hubby no longer has the goatee ( however I loved the goatee).
Comment by Debbie on February 18, 2010 at 12:38pm
Colleen - no, not a hairstylist but here is the funny thing - my profile pic was taken by my hairstlyist after she cut my long hair off!! My hair used to be pretty long (think midway down my back) and a few months back, had it cut. She took my pic before I left the salon! (I'll put up a pic of me with long hair)

Well, Good morning! I would have posted earlier, but I've been busy catching up on the posts!!! MY MY MY we are chatty lately!!! Couldn't be nervous energy now could it? The ribbons are looking great!
I have found myself laughing, then crying then laughing again at our posts this morning. My office mate must think I'm crazy - well, she knows I am! I'd like to address everyone personally, but am late for a meeting, so I'll just say my thoughts and prayers are with you all that are going through difficult times right now...and I can't wait to meet you all in ONE week!!!! Woo Hoo!!!!
Comment by RicksWifeAmber on February 18, 2010 at 12:11pm
Barbarajean~ that is just terrible my thoughts and prayers are with you.
navyblueeyes~ WELCOME BACK BABY~ lol
Colleen~ I feel you on the taxes :-( Errrrggg Got stuck with capital gaines on one of my houses a couple of years ago and I'm still trying to straighten out some of Ricks back taxes whoaaaaa you put us together and dang it's a good thing I have a good tax accountant. I keep paying and paying but it seems like the balance NEVER MOVES!
Debbie ~ navybluemom guess that means you guys boys are in with my husband, too cool!

Just a few words about chapel... I did get a couple of letters from Rick saying he had been said it was waaayyyyy different than what he was used to... Church of Christ is very reserved LOL He says they were dancing and clapping acting wild~ I laughed my butt off. Even brought in my letters for the girls @ the office to read!! His descriptions were quite colorful. But it's been good for him...34 years old and just coming out of his shell :)

Oh yeah - Turbo Tax is the only way to go!! Good for you G-man. I just did not want to them......computer crashed a few months ago and lost my back tax stuff so I have to recreate quite a bit.....
Comment by Gman Navy Husband on February 18, 2010 at 12:00pm
Well, just got back from the reserve center here in town. They issued me my dependent ID card! I could have most likely gotten it the first week my wife was away! The date it was valid was the 6th of Jan!! Oh well, I have it now. The military hasn't changed in 20 years, you have to do it yourself to get it done!

Taxes, you guys are slow, I want my money back from Uncle Sam and have already gotten it!! Turbo Tax is awesome!
Comment by Debbie on February 18, 2010 at 11:45am
Yep navyblumom & colleen- my son told me that 105 is his brother division. These divisions are bunkmates. He explained to me that since they split the males & females into diff bunk compartments- the males from 105 and 106 are in the same compartment.
Comment by Debbie on February 18, 2010 at 11:31am
Welcome Back navyblueeyes!! Missed ya!! TAXES - ewwwwww - that's on my agenda for the day as well. (That and taking the dog to the vets)
