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 Courtney (Adam's wife) <3 on March 5, 2010 at 11:01pm: Where did Hallsmom run off to? I need to thank her for having such a wonderful son. Her son and my hubby are in the same building. Since yesterday, her son has been letting my husband use his phone to call me! :) I am so grateful because his phone won't be coming in till Monday probably. About 6 or 7 guys are going to the mall tomorrow to see a movie and are going to split the cost of a taxi.. I am so glad they have some well deserved freedom! :)

Comment by RicksWifeAmber on March 5, 2010 at 10:34pm: Ahhhh good news girls!!! I think I might have found a job at the Baptist Hospital down there!!! It's part time... but it will help! In the mean time have to get down there and take a look at those properties I have picked out so we can reserve our coolers and chairs on the beach ;-) lol
Crystal~ honey I hate to hear that! you be careful!!!! If we have to keep you wrapped up all summer your going to have funny tan lines ;-)
OzMom- just get your plane ticket and grocery money girl! I'll pick you up @ the airport! =P
Can't wait to get down there and see my baby! Haven't heard from him today but I'll cut him some slack it's his first weekend of freedom in over 2 months... he probably needs to just chill. I did get to talk to him for almost 2 hours last night- his room mate is awesome he let him use his cell phone!
THE PHONES SUCK! Glad I put his in the mail he should have it by Monday.

Comment by hismomdeeship7div103 on March 5, 2010 at 9:33pm: Cudawn-my son is in Meridian for LS, is that where your son is? Where are you going to put the video? I would like to see it.

Comment by dreams on March 5, 2010 at 5:13pm: I just called and she said to use the form inside the picture packet and mail it in. She also said it will be approx 4-6 weeks before they are mailed out...they are still editing ours. But it is first come, first served, so if you want one you need to mail in the form...

Comment by dreams on March 5, 2010 at 5:10pm: I saw on here a phone number for the DVD, but haven't called it yet.

847-578-6205....

Hope this helps

Comment by crystaldj1972 6/915 on March 5, 2010 at 1:49pm: yea I know, but i did use a suitcase on wheels, but guess it wasnt good enough- I wasnt about to miss that graduation!

Comment by crystaldj1972 6/915 on March 5, 2010 at 1:44pm: Ok wanna hear some great news? I will be going back to Florida in a couple weeks. Amber, I will be about two hours from you in Panama City. God I MISS MY BEACH! Made it through graduation, but wasnt supposed to be lifting anything and of course, ya got to carry the suitcase, so ended up going back to the Dr and being "restitched". Absolutely no lifting with my right arm for 8 weeks. Gonna have to figure this one out or pay my son extra allowance for carrying all of the stuff back to PC.
Yes I guess I am suffering from my grandsnowbaby's abuse...but thats ok- I have sunny skies and a white sandy beach at home.. I guess I will get over it.

Comment by hismomdeeship7div103 on March 5, 2010 at 1:09pm: My son has called the last three nights, how good it is to be connected! He seems to be adjusting well in Meridian and sounds like there is plenty to do!

Comment by RicksWifeAmber on March 4, 2010 at 7:51pm: I had one of my girl friends come up with me so she was in the second bedroom. Worked out well. I'm not sure we ever turned the TV on LOL but it wasn't a flat screen.
Seems like we were always coming and going... Friday was a waste for us due to all the paperwork so really Sunday and Saturday were it :(

Monica... be glad it's just a week or 2! They told Rick 4-6 MONTHS before he even classes up.
LOL shes 8 and he's ready to be in the tropics... bless him Lord just bless him LOL typical man ;o)

Comment by dreams on March 4, 2010 at 6:12pm: Amber -
I thought the Residence Inn was very nice, we had a one room suite - no dancers either! & no fireplace! LOL
We were eating breakfast with our new sailor Sunday morning, were you guys there too? ..but I must say my eyes were only on him!
Good luck on your adventure!
