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."

yes, that is Derek signature, most definitely. I will bring that envelope with all the signatures and if we need copys of it or something, wouldn't that be cool to keep in the archives! My cell# for anybody that want's it for "just in case's" contact or just casual conversation is (575) 418-0107. my reception is terrible in the mountains and most of the time I need to walk outside of my metal shoe box that i live in to get two bars. That's why i have a computer and is everybody hooked up to Skype? If not, you better get with it! we can practice on that. it is the only way to communicate with our guys later on. My Skype is "Spatial.Phillips"

Hi, Ladies! You all left me a LOT to catch up on. Working from home yesterday was anything but working...so much to do when I got to work this morning.

Re the "D" that is on Zipsue's list/letter. If it's clearly a "D" with a wavey line after it, that's my sailor, Derek. He has the signature of an MD. What a neat thing he did getting his buddies to sign it.

Jackie--If MIke is still going to Meridian, Derek said they aren't leaving until 1800 hours on Friday. Now I'm not clear if that's the time of their flight or if it's when they'll leave RTC, but it's not the o'dark:30 that we thought it was going to be.

Rames--I'll text you with my cell phone # tomorrow. Right now there's a martini & sushi with my name on it...

TGIF!

haha. do you have my number? if not let me now
Comment by zipsue on August 27, 2010 at 8:36pm
Oh and Rames, I got your cell # down. I am kinda worried that it is going to be so crowded that some people will not get in.... do you think that is possible? I am going to be at the gate at 6am or maybe a little earlier, so we do need to trade #'s and help each other just in case something goes wrong. I might need to steal a wheelchair, hehe jk...... but I ain't missing this! ok, slight over-reaction, nm
Comment by zipsue on August 27, 2010 at 8:22pm
ok, sounds like he is going to go across the street after PIR for Grad and Go, check-in, then get liberty thru Monday and it kinda sounds like they are just gonna "hang-out" and rest til PIR, and get well anyway. He is enlisted as HM (hospital corpsman), if that info helps anybody.
