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 PKM on December 22, 2021 at 10:37am: I wanted to share this idea. When my son was deployed months after his daughter was born, I made a cardboard baby book on a metal ring with pictures of her dad on each page. I put contact paper over each page so my new granddaughter could put it in her mouth and look at her dad. It was a favorite toy of hers.

Comment by PKM on December 21, 2021 at 8:23pm: Happy Holidays! It’s been a long time since I’ve been on my page. I need new glitter pens, does anyone have a favorite brand?

Comment by NavyMum on May 12, 2020 at 8:53pm: Hi @PKM - I'm a scrapbooker. DS has been in the Navy for 4.5 years now and I'm only about a year behind on his album. I make cards also - lately I've been making them for nursing home residents

Comment by PKM on May 12, 2020 at 7:26pm: Hi. If there are any scrappers out there, let me know. I'd like to share tips and tricks with other paper Hoarders!

Comment by PKM on October 21, 2018 at 8:52pm: Anyone else scrapbook or make cards?

I finally made my scrap room. It is very nice to have a place that I can shut the door and leave projects in mid point. I do keep finding that I rearrange things way too often. Does anyone else do that?

I started my own memory book about my son and his wife, as they go on their journey in the Navy.

Comment by PKM on September 6, 2018 at 12:04pm: Hello to all scrappers! Anyone missing they're Navy LO?

Comment by PKM on June 10, 2018 at 9:49pm: Discovered that the local art museum is very glad to get any scraping stickers, paper, cut outs or other stuff I have too much of. They use it for make and takes.

Comment by PKM on May 31, 2018 at 9:45am: Hugged my son one last time before he and his wife head to Virginia for schooling. So sad I'm going to miss them,, so excited for their new adventure, so PROUD of their courage to serve.

Making a scrapbook of their Navy life with help keep them close.

Comment by PKM on May 28, 2018 at 5:08pm: A moment to remember all who have served and are currently serving in our Military. God Bless them all!

Comment by PKM on May 23, 2018 at 8:49pm: Had to move my scrapbook area, AGAIN! Getting new windows and I had to get it away from the window. I am finding that I really need to see what I have and then I am more likely to use it.
