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 cheffiona on June 17, 2011 at 3:58pm: sewing as i type lol

Thanks Elane got package today!!!

Comment by Elane on June 17, 2011 at 3:55pm: The crystals that I have found and planning to use are called "soil moist" I got mine at Kmart in there garden supply area.

they are crystals that are quite tiny... swell up 3-4x their size when you had water to them and then as they dry they add the water to the neck to cool off or into the soil to keep plants moist as they are originally made for .

Only need 1 tsp per cooler (1/4tsp in each of 4 pockets) and please make sure they do not have any sort of fertilizer in them. just plain crystals.

Comment by Elane on June 17, 2011 at 3:44pm: The "shoe box auction" items are the ones the Family Readiness Group (FRG) wants mailed no later than June 25th and they would like us to let them know when we send them via email reply to them. So they can track them...they are going to the QM1....

The neck coolers do not have a deadline, but should be as soon as possible as it is to help them cool off on the deck, etc, in the hot area they are rumored to be in. The CMC would like them in dark blue and wants them sent to him. If you need more info please private message me I will send the details.

Comment by navynana on June 15, 2011 at 1:28am: your sailor has to put you on the list. We get the monthly newsletters also and the FRG updates. Have him send an email to them.

Comment by Beth on June 14, 2011 at 10:17pm: Can someone tell me how to get on this email list from the obudsman that has been mentioned below?

Comment by Dee on June 14, 2011 at 8:26pm: what is a neck cooler?

Comment by kab on June 14, 2011 at 11:12am: Hi everyone -- greetings from SE Michigan -- Hope everyone is doing well with LO's on the cruise. I'm hoping the 'cooler' weather continues here in MI for a few more days so I can get some much needed yard/and deck work done. Just can't do it when it's above 90 degrees -

Am still 'collecting' and putting together some boxes for the auction - I hope the entire crew enjoys the fundraiser. Has anyone heard of a time frame that they want the neck coolers sent to ship? I have to see if I can squeeze making some in between working and everything else. Take care --

Comment by cheffiona on June 9, 2011 at 3:23pm: Hey E1 Hope your all doing great, its hot here in Nevada and only gonna get hotter.

B. is getting ready to test ESWS on saturday and at least I will get to see a pic of her as when they get pinned they take a pic and post on fb!! Then she has her boards!

Take care E1

Comment by navynana on June 5, 2011 at 4:06pm: Elane, maybe Paymaster on the GreenBay can help with advice since they did the pillow cases. She organized the project.
