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 Brenda Sue on March 2, 2009 at 10:44pm: oh Cecelia - you should have called - I would have ran right over and brought you a shoulder to cry on!!!!

I have met Cecelia and was amazed by her strength to talk about her son!! I don't know that I could have done so!! Her strength encourages me!!!

I am hoping that you ride with me to Waco in a few weeks, Cecelia!!!!

Comment by Rebecca on March 1, 2009 at 8:41pm: to get in the chat, click on the line with the arrow under it, it will bring up the chat room, as long as your dot is green!

Comment by Brenda Sue on February 28, 2009 at 2:20pm: I agree with Laura - I don't think we should make a HUGE deal out of this (and I don't want my car towed for being parked illegally) - but I do think a letter stating FACTS should be sent to either BB corporate office and/or to the editor of the Waco paper.
Of course, if they don't make reservations - they don't make reservations. That is NOT unusual for some restaurants. So, I am not real sure they did us an inservice. Also, were they told - (this was a few weeks ago) - um - we don't know exactly how many - right now (some number, lets just say ten) ten have signed up? Well, ten people don't need reservations made. They seat parties of ten all the time.
Just my thoughts.

Comment by Brenda Sue on February 28, 2009 at 12:25pm: Glad you are here YoAnna!!

Comment by Brenda Sue on February 28, 2009 at 1:04am: Eagle Mom - I have heard NOTHING about painting the town blue!!!!
The people from the marketing firm have called me a few times about other things - so I know they have my numbers to contact us.
If they give us any information - I'll be sure and HOLLER!!!!

Comment by Rebecca on February 28, 2009 at 12:54am: Joni,
I recommend that you have your son alert his Chain of Command that there might be a possible identy theft. That way they are aware and if any letter of indebtness comes to the command, he will not get into trouble. Also the command will be able to help with this situation and he can go to the Legal office on base.

Comment by Brenda Sue on February 28, 2009 at 12:36am: Hey Joni - I don't get any credit card bills in the mail.
Mine are all be email now!! I sure would report it ASAP!!!

You said Texas ID card - what is that??? I don't have one - does anyone else? Are you talking about a driver's license or something else? Did it have REALLY personal information on there - like his social security number or just name and address?
Looking forward to meeting everyone in WACO in about three weeks!!!

Comment by Brenda Sue on February 27, 2009 at 7:34pm: Hey fellow Texans (and Texan wannabe's) - please comment every once in a while on the N4M's Is Coming discussion above. I want to be sure it stays on the front of this page (and gets LOTS of attentions on the front page)!!!

Comment by Brenda Sue on February 27, 2009 at 7:30pm: Hey I agree, let's drop BB's. We probably would not even see the manager - he is too smart to be working on a Saturday night. It would just be the underpaid assistant!!
