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 Kathy on June 26, 2013 at 10:57pm: My grandmother also made us a quite when we got married.

Comment by karinabeana611 on June 26, 2013 at 8:30am: Don't worry, Lin! haha I'm 17 and have been crocheting for years. :) My grandma taught me. I started with a chain bookmark and now I double crochet scarves. She makes afghans and there's one for each of her grandchildren when she's gone...so sweet. :) (I don't like thinking of her being gone, though!)

Thanks for the measurements! :) It's okay about the picture, I can work with inches! :) :)

Kathy-that's so cute that your grandma made you and your sister ones (and that they went along with the branch you were in!) :)

Comment by Kathy on June 26, 2013 at 6:58am: Yea but that is good my grandma is 95 and will be 96 and is in better health then all the family and is a hand full to keep up with.

Comment by Kathy on June 25, 2013 at 8:37pm: My grandmother made a green one for me when I was in the Army and a blue one for my sister who was in the Air Force. I still have the blankets today. In fact it is on my son's bed at home.

Comment by karinabeana611 on June 25, 2013 at 5:07pm: Lin-how big did you make the blanket? I crochet, too so that'd be a good project for next winter. :)

Comment by Kathy on June 25, 2013 at 5:03pm: Never got one for the promotion, but my son will be testing in the fall for his E6.

Comment by NavyMomLG on June 25, 2013 at 1:35pm: I just got a letter last week from the commander about my son's promotion. It was very nice and such a surprise. So now I will be watching for one when he gets his dolphins!

Comment by Kathy on June 25, 2013 at 11:32am: That is a good idea maybe I will do that too.

Comment by Kathy on June 25, 2013 at 10:57am: I got my son a beautiful Navy blanket and got his may put on it, but he does not take that on the boat. He takes his Navy issue stuff, because if you have ever smelled there stuff when they come off the boat you would understand it smells bad. My son washes everything he brings on the boat even if he did not use it. Has anyone got a letter from the commander yet. When my son got his dolphins his commander sent me a letter. Here I was waiting on an email from him tell me he got his dolphins and I get a letter in the mail from his commander tell me that he presented my son his dolphins. I thought that was so nice, I even scanned it in to my computer so I do not lose it.

Comment by Kathy on June 25, 2013 at 8:15am: Usual about a month before they go on there little boat ride my son loads his computer with books, movies and video games. I know he loans out some of his movies some time so the other guys can see them. My son has been trying to school the other guys on all the cult classics movies out there.
