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."

Here are a few pictures of Stephen's new place.

I wish they had somewhere where the sailors could eat, they did in bc and in P-Cola. Oh, I thought the commissary was where they could go eat like a px, I know Stephen buys food in the NEX. Do they have a place for the sailors to go and eat on the bigger base? Well I guess Stephen will have to do his own cooking now. Ok, no forced air. Well I hope he has a warm blanket. LOL Have a wonderful weekend and keep filling me in ok!
Comment by Debbie (Stephen's mom) on December 4, 2009 at 12:31pm
Thanks Robin, why don't they have a place for the men and women to eat, a Commisisary? That is really only Stephen's complaint. I forgot you did say it was not forced heat.

That base also has a subway!
Comment by Debbie (Stephen's mom) on December 4, 2009 at 11:43am
They do have anything for the sailors on the small base, that is not right, and it is not easy to get over to the other base. But they do have a NEX on the small base too. LOL Thanks Carrie!

Robin, I was wondering does these homes have heating vents like we do at home, I was thinking that the boys could close the vents, they do not need to heat the rooms they are not using.
Comment by Debbie (Stephen's mom) on December 3, 2009 at 3:57pm
LOL I like that, very good!!!!!!! Ok we will have t start to use that and tell people it started on the best site the Naple site.
Comment by Debbie (Stephen's mom) on December 3, 2009 at 2:54pm
I hope so, I am just glad she is doing well and people are nice to her. I am glad she has a few days off. Boy when she falls asleep, she should sleep really well.
Comment by Debbie (Stephen's mom) on December 3, 2009 at 2:36pm
LOL I told you skype was the best. Thanks for the skype your mother, that is funny. Well I hope they get to meet that would be nice. I know it took several days for Stephen to get back on his feet. When does she start INDOC, does she know.
Comment by Debbie (Stephen's mom) on December 3, 2009 at 1:29pm
Carrie, I am glad she got there and someone meet her at the airport. Sorry about her bed and flight YUK! But she is there and doing good. Did she meet Stephen? Yes Stephen showed us his room with skype and showed us the mountain right behind him. People are so nice, I am so happy for her. How are you? Next time you talk to your daughter, tell her to tell my son to skype me. LOL I have not been able to reach him lately, his phone does not seem to be working. Keep us update!
Comment by Sharon P.M. on December 2, 2009 at 2:49pm
I'm kind of technology challenged but the kids do their best to at least keep me in the loop! LOL
They already have tattoos on their arms that are some symbol for "brother", Steven also has a celtic knot and Devin got a red cross on his arm while in Chicago and then had "Kelly-Ann" on his chest (dad's and my middle names and what he plans on naming his first daughter) never mind that he isn't even seeing anyone at this time! So neither really need to get any more! They have been talking about it for a while so I'm sure they're probably at the shop now, ugh!!
