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 Elaine-PIR 10/1/10 on August 20, 2011 at 11:10pm: Awesome day at the Dallas World Aquarium.

Eaglemom-thank you so much for the name tag. I will wear it proudly to every place that Navy Moms gather and I will brag on you for making it.

Kat-you drive like I do, pretty much, and thanks for getting us out of Dallas.

P'nut-So glad you were able to be there.

Donna-I know you drove a long way, as did Lisa, and I'm so glad you did. It was wonderful talking before everyone else got there.

Lisa-I had a wonderful time looking at all the displays with you. We were going against the crowd at times but I'm kinda like that anyway.

It was a pleasure to meet you all. Next time I propose a long leisurely lunch with everyone bringing 3 questions to put in a basket and we each take a turn pulling 1 out and answering it. I only wish we had had more time to enjoy each other's company. Thank you so much.

P.S. Kat, call me soon and we will have lunch or whatever.

Comment by Lisa (MMNuke Mom) on August 19, 2011 at 8:30pm: Yay Vonecia - isn't it great to hear their voice, even if it's just for 'business'? How's the baby doing?
