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 Kaye S. on December 4, 2008 at 8:28pm: Back to my Rolodex... ;-) k.

Comment by lauren on December 4, 2008 at 8:28pm: Hey Wendy's I'll take one of them ........they don't even have to be retired for me............LOL

Comment by lauren on December 4, 2008 at 7:21pm: ok evry1 i have a son too.......and I'm ready to arrange for him too....boy it is hard to meet a NICE girl these days
also if someone is recording I will pay for the DVD's and shipping .....and an ice cream cone.......

Comment by Kaye S. on December 4, 2008 at 7:07pm: (SIL="sister-in-law") Well then, I'm putting Jim back for Eliza... who, by the way, deserves to have FIVE daughers who are just like her! (Jim might want to keep on cruises) LOL!

Amber, my son framed a photo of he and his prom date for his desk for the very same reason (grief for not going to the clubs)... he said he made up lots of lies, but tried to keep them tasteful... Ha, ha! k.

Comment by Kaye S. on December 4, 2008 at 6:50pm: Nancy, remember my SIL has THREE... yours can have Leah. She's only a freshman, but she'll be legal by the time he's ready to settle down.

Comment by Kaye S. on December 4, 2008 at 6:49pm: OK, Wendy, new deal... I'll marry Jim MYSELF!!!

(I hope he doesn't want children... there's no way I'm going there again.)

Comment by Kaye S. on December 4, 2008 at 6:27pm: Kathy, we can have a double wedding and split the costs for two brides right down the middle. Colleen is very pretty too, plus she's southern (raised in Texas). She thinks her brother hung the moon.

OK... I've called my SIL, who has THREE daughers. Amber and Wendy, she's ready to send you Laura and Eliza. There! All done!

Comment by Kaye S. on December 4, 2008 at 6:22pm: Oops, we need one more girl for Amber's son... and actually, Kathy, we could do an even swap: your daughter for my son and my daughter for your son. I'll stop her from buying the plane ticket to Minnesota and have her come look at your photos.

Comment by Kaye S. on December 4, 2008 at 6:12pm: Y'know, I might make some money at this. My daughter goes to a Christian school. It's filled with sweet, pretty girls who want sweet guys and a family. Send your applications with photos to my page. Since you all have sons in the military, I'll charge the girls' moms for my costs! ks.
