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."

Looks like our storm is moving further south....we may only get some of the outer rain bans....better than nothing at all.

bn4givn - Bravo Zulu to your sailor!! I'm sure you are one proud Momma :-)

I will have to see if I can make the Dallas meet n greet on 8/20.

Comment by Pearl Harbor MA on July 27, 2011 at 10:31pm: Got a text from my son today, he earned an Expert marksman ribbon today! He shot 236 out of 240! He was so proud of himself.

Comment by mumziepooh on July 27, 2011 at 10:29pm: We won't leave for the storm - we left for Rita and it took 13 hours to get to Austin from Houston (normally 2.5 hrs). We are 70 miles inland and had no flooding with Ivan - just not going anywhere.

Comment by Brenda Sue on July 27, 2011 at 9:57pm: sounds fun!! I just might - all depends on what is going on with school at that time. Hopefully, it will already be started and I'll be settled in!

Comment by Lisa (MMNuke Mom) on July 27, 2011 at 5:47pm: Andrew was 1993 I think. Before that, I always thought people were crazy for staying, but now I understand completely why they don't leave.

Comment by Matt's Mom/Cathy on July 27, 2011 at 4:56pm: I can relate to that Lisa. We left at the last minute when Rita was coming in and the traffic was horrible people on the side of the road sleeping or ran out of gas. We stayed away one night and came back home to deal with the aftermath. We stayed when Ike hit and was able to get right to work on cleanup. I doubt if we would leave again.

Comment by Brenda Sue on July 27, 2011 at 4:55pm: We've gotten so much rain lately, I have mushrooms growing in my front yard!! Lisa - I think I remember that one - was it about 1989? I was in college (the second time) and my sister took my two boys and left early because the college didn't cancel classes. I missed my sailor's first birthday because he was with her.

Comment by Lisa (MMNuke Mom) on July 27, 2011 at 4:40pm: windhaven, lucky you!

Comment by Lisa (MMNuke Mom) on July 27, 2011 at 4:29pm: Brenda Sue, I can remember leaving (running) from hurricane Andrew when we lived in Beaumont. Only had 2 children then, and both were little. I was in such a hurry (aka panic) that I locked myself out of the house. It took us at least 6 hrs to make it to Huntsville (usually a 3hr drive), only to find out that Andrew had turned away from us. Needless to say, we were all tired and a bit frustrated when we got back home, and I didn't care that I had to break the kitchen window to get back in.
