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."

We'll be on the tiger cruise. About 100 for bus. We live in SW Florida so will head up the night before.
Comment by TJ's Mom on June 7, 2011 at 9:53pm
Have any of you gotten a email telling how much the cost of the bus is yet? Someone on Facebook said they had.
Comment by TJ's Mom on June 1, 2011 at 6:30am

I know that is what I was afraid of flights. But you do live a long ways.

I am really looking forward to meeting everyone. We are going to have a great time.

It sounds like fun. Are you all taking the bus from Norfolk? I was going to fly but I am only 4 1/2 hours from Norfolk. So I am down to ride the bus. Afraid my flight might be delayed and didn't want to miss it. I think we will be traveling at night cause I was told we would be there in that Wednesday morning. Can't wait hope we all get to go!!

I'm waiting to hear if we get to go on the tiger cruise too. Hopefully we'll all be on there together. That would be nice.

Are any of you going on the Tiger Cruise? My son sent me the paper work and I am on the list. We meet the Wednesday before they come home in Florida and ride with them to Norfolk. I am counting the days. This is my son's first deployment also. Pamela I know you will be glad when your daughter will be closer to home. I live in Wilmington NC so when my son get back to Norfolk he will be the closest he has been since he joined. Which this first day of booth camp was June 13. 2010

. So I am ready for him to be closer to home can't think about him being gone 6 years.

Pamela,

I'm so glad for you. This is our first deployment and I can't wait for Miranda to come home. Counting the days.
