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 Karen (KC's mom) on July 17, 2009 at 12:38am: Laura, that Sunday afternoon would work better for me if it works for everybody else. I left messages for those who responded up above and a few others about the OC Meet. I will also let a few others know. I think I would go ahead and post a date for the OC Meet and Greet and details about it.

Comment by Karen (KC's mom) on July 16, 2009 at 12:32pm: No matter what I will work somthing out for that day even if I have to be a little late for the baby shower. Dont want to miss the Meet and Greet! :-)

Comment by Karen (KC's mom) on July 16, 2009 at 12:22pm: Hmm, I was just thinking last night I forgot to add that I'm attending a Baby Shower on the 8th. Is this being planned for lunch or dinner? Baby Shower is at 2pm...for dinner I can possibly make it by 6:30/7pm. Or Sunday afternoon the 9th is good for me too.

Comment by KatK on July 16, 2009 at 11:15am: Meet and Greet in Tustin would be great! Let me know if I can help.

Comment by Karen (KC's mom) on July 14, 2009 at 11:34pm: HI Laura, Sure I can help you post it once we hear from everybody.

I'll be having company that first weekend of August but I may be okay to get away for a couple of hours unless I bring my friend along. Only problem she doesn't speak english but her husband does. Our friends are visiting from Mexico.

Comment by Karen (KC's mom) on July 14, 2009 at 4:38pm: HI Everybody,
Darsete has posted the get together under Events. Please be sure to RSVP. Thanks Darcie!

Comment by Karen (KC's mom) on July 13, 2009 at 1:59pm: Sorry, you may want to check with OC Mom's first to see what day is good for them before posting the event.

Comment by Karen (KC's mom) on July 13, 2009 at 11:22am: Hi Laura, I never thought of Tustin area. I think that might be a pretty central spot for OC Moms. That is fine by me and if it's okay with the other mom's, if you would like to go ahead and make the arrangements and list it under Events. Can we plan for end of July or early August? One of our mom's on the list is only in the area during this time and she would like to be a part of the event. I do not know if she will make it to the Main Meet and Greet at the end of August.

Comment by Karen (KC's mom) on July 12, 2009 at 10:31pm: For some of you who are in O.C. area and may not make it for the Main MeetnGreet we can plan something a little more closer.
