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."

@ navynana ha ha thank you!

 

Yea B. said it has been hot for awhile and they dont stop in the galley and very often they get off late!  Most of the sailors and marines tend to go online at their nighttime which of course will differ depending on where you are in US, taking into account the time difference between us and them.   B. said its harder to get on then that is why she gets up early their time and usually no one is their lol!

Welcome Dennydazzle to the Comstock - it's a great group of people - very helpful.  Hopefully your daughter will have a safe trip to the ship and a great experience.

@BM3Simswife congrats on getting a little communication with the hubby. I have been seeing my son on fb almost every evening and I am begining to wonder how busy he really is. I know he is not a sailor on the ship, but you would think his unit would keep them a little busier, or there would be ship duties that they would have to help with.

@dennydazzle welcome aboard the USS Comstock chat group nice to have your here. Hey I'm not the newby any more...lol

Comment by BM3Simswife on March 9, 2011 at 9:46pm
I was able th chat with my husband through emails. He said its very hot where they are! He asked me to mail him a bunch of different kinds of crystal light or gatorade packets. He also was able to email me some pictures of him hard at work. Lol. It was nice to feel a little connected even though they are half way around the world!
