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 Lori on October 16, 2010 at 2:18pm: Julie sorry about Oreo, I have been in the same strugle my self. Take care

Comment by DCT MOM on October 14, 2010 at 9:25pm: Julie So sorry to hear about Oreo. Sending a big hug to you.

Comment by reedm on October 14, 2010 at 8:24pm: Julie I am so sorry. I should have refreshed my page. I missed the update.

double prayers go your way

Comment by reedm on October 14, 2010 at 8:23pm: Julie,

I so hope your dog is still ok and you didn't have to let the dog go. I wanted to let you know that I am in a similar situation and you are not alone.

Our 9 year old Jack Russell has epilsepy and bad arthritis. When he was 3 or 4 years old, the vet said he wouldn't last but a couple of more years because he has seizures. So we are thankful he has lasted this long.

He is missing his marine that is on the Kearsarge with your daughter. We have prayed that he will live until our boy gets home. But if something does happen to him, we have decided not to let our son know until he gets home. I know it is tough to not be totally honest with our children while they are gone. But I honestly think it is best not to burden them with something they have no control over.

Your family is in our thoughts and prayers.

Comment by DCT MOM on October 13, 2010 at 8:51pm: Julie so sorry to hear about your dog. We just had to have ours put down in July Dustin was on an underway and i waited until we got to Norlfolk in August to tell him in person. He was glad i didnt tell him while he was out. and i did it in person. You know your daughter best and how she will handle the news. Hope all goes well its not easy. Hugs Tammy

Comment by IS Redhead on October 13, 2010 at 8:54am: Thanks all, I wil try to link up on my FB page. OMG I have to get a package off soon if I want him to get Christmas presents!

Comment by jkl2z7 on October 12, 2010 at 11:02pm: Hey ladies! Sorry I havent posted for awhile...Been extra busy with the lady I take care of had a stroke...I have been paying attention to what is going on though. I have a couple of questions.
1)What is FRG? and what exactly are the Tshirts for?The ones for the First hug and stuff like that?
2) Any news on the other Tshirts with Kearsarge on them?
Thank you ladies and gentleman...for you help with these questions.
Have a great day!

Comment by embarkguru on October 12, 2010 at 9:33pm: I have asked the FRG to send us an email with all of the tee-shirt information. I do not think they know that everyone is not on Face Book.

Comment by Largefilipino on October 12, 2010 at 8:59pm: I don't know if we can link here. We cannot link at the FB site it's pretty important there. On the search bar on your facebook page just search Kearsarge and there you are! You'll want to join the (LHD3) and the Ombudsman corner. I also joined the FRG. Actually waiting on the merchandise but it all looks pretty good.
