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."

She said if was funny we were trying to find our stuff in front of us and we kept picking up the wrong parts!!

Comment by KTSNavymom Kathy on January 28, 2010 at 2:20pm: Welcome Becky Glad you found us!!
Everyone here is soo nice!! We all try to keep each other updated with what's happening on the ship. A few of our Sailors already know each other so that's cool, I know my Katie got to talk to Kathleen 1 night when Jonis was on the phone with her.
The tree sounds OK to me just let me know.

Comment by CCR on January 26, 2010 at 9:25pm: Hey Becky! Alex is a MM. Just ask Molly about those snipes! (Engineers) Mary says we are foxes, (FC's) where's the twidgets!!!????(ET's) My son liked the firefighting at BC. He was the "hose man" or in the front.
I like the idea of the tree, but it would require constant updating, yes?
Have we heard from Rozy and her CS yet?

Comment by BeckyT on January 26, 2010 at 7:42pm: Hi everyone this is Becky from Reading,Pa. my son Alex just arrived in Dec. he was also in the fire training he's lovin it.

Comment by KTSNavymom Kathy on January 25, 2010 at 12:33pm: Did you all see the fire school pics on FB?? I know Katie and Jonis were there was anybody else's sailors there? Katie said she was soo sore from doing that, and she still hates fires!!

Comment by KTSNavymom Kathy on January 20, 2010 at 5:54pm: This is the right one I sent Katie the link and she said yes it's the 1 they are going too and that she was excited about it!!

I think this is it they have sculptures made out of ice and all, it's supposed to be really beautiful. It can't hurt for him to have the thermals, I went to Big 5 and bought Katie some really warm ones, of course then I took the money out of her account for them too hehehehe LOL

Comment by CCR on January 19, 2010 at 11:26pm: Yep. Sent that Pea Coat off a couple weeks ago. Brrr.

Comment by KTSNavymom Kathy on January 19, 2010 at 10:27pm: Kathleen when I talked to Katie the other day she said she'd be seeing Jonis Weds. which for them is today, she said they had to go to a fire fighting class and his name was on the list. She also said they'd be getting under way soon and heading for the ice festival, she called to ask me to send her some Thermals LOL, she said ya know mom it snows where we are going and I don't have any thermals and couldn't find any at the NEX so I need some. So I sent a box off to her today.
