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 Sue-Pillowcase lady on July 9, 2010 at 10:17am: TM, I work/workout at Curves at Glenn and Campbell. but I am traveling at the moment.

Comment by Tucson Mom (Ship 04 Div 817) on July 8, 2010 at 9:06pm: Hello, I work at the U of A and I am wondering if there anyone on this site that works at or near the U of A. My son is due to have his PRI at the end of the month and I would love to talk to someone who knows what to expect. We could meet at lunch or in the afternoon on campus.

Comment by Sue-Pillowcase lady on June 16, 2010 at 12:43am: Melissa, nice to hear from you! Whitney, if you can pm me your email address and what you are looking for, I"ll see what my hubby can find. we are in real estate/.

Comment by Melissa (Tucson) on June 14, 2010 at 6:50pm: Jill, the Navy Lodge in Norfolk is really nice and very inexpensive. It's also very close to the base. We were there for 4 days and really enjoyed it.
My nephew just got out of the Navy and was stationed in Diego Garcia his first of service. They are very isolated even though the location is breathtaking. I think my nephew only left the island once. His big complaint was the isolation and he was only allowed to leave once. It's a pretty busy place with all that's going on around the world right now.

Comment by Sweet*Southern*Lady on June 14, 2010 at 11:36am: Hi Ladies, Brady (my sailor) and I will be moving Tucson in the 3rd or 4th week of July. I'm having a terrible time finding a decent home rental. Does any one have Property management suggestions? Do you have friends who own rental homes? I would love any help!! Thanks!

Comment by Sue-Pillowcase lady on May 27, 2010 at 8:56pm: Yes that kid is Brian Updyke and everyone knows him. He was one of the nicest kids I've met. it's Milwaukee and he actually didn't fare well there. It's a shame-I think he is out of baseball now. I am from there.

The baseball coach was excellent! We all know that he was a fanatic about the grass but he was a fabulous coach. a tough one, but fair and consistent. Very good for my son.
In fact, his mom and I are really good friends-we met thru the team.

Comment by Sue-Pillowcase lady on May 27, 2010 at 8:34pm: my son played baseball. he was #11.

Comment by Sue-Pillowcase lady on May 27, 2010 at 4:19pm: hey, mine graduated then too from Foothills. did he go to grad night? I work in the costume room for that and did last night again. it was my 12th year. did your son play any sports there?
