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."

We are coming in on the 17th and staying at the Residence Inn/Waukegan, for the same reason WhiteClay, they had 2 br suites!

We hope too attend the Meet & Greet, if plane and traveling in gets us there in time.

What are the ribbons for, and where do I find LaLa?

I am wearing a pink scarf and am having 913 monogramed on it, anyone else doing this. If so, what color?

What is infor on nametags? I saw that go around, and thought it was a great idea, just didn't know any more about it.

We are planing to come back on Sun. May end up sending our daughter & mother in law back and extending our trip a day or so. Just not sure when we will see him again!

Great idea about the cell phone numbers...

I am so excited to meet everyone. I feel like I know you all already! Its gonna be GREAT!
