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."

NH just had a 4.5 earthquake. My sailor was on the boat and said the boat started swaying. He definitely felt it.

Comment by Pat L. in IL on October 5, 2012 at 10:21pm

Hi Everyone, Thank you for the updates on your sailors! It has been kind of quiet here since they have been in drydock. My sailor was home in July and we had a great time! Have my fingers crossed for Christmas this year!!

Hello all!  We have been able to see Myles a couple of times.  He was able to come home in April for 24 hours for my mom's funeral.  It was a blessing to have all our kids back for that time.  We were blessed again to have all our kids make it to our cottage in Alpena, MI for a gathering of kayaking, swimming and camp fires for the first weekend in August.  Good times.  My oldest daughter just took a civilian job with the Air Force at a base about an hour from NH, so Myles and she can hang out occasionally.   In other good news, this same daughter was just selected to become a Navy Reserve Intel Officer! Myles will have to salute her! Ha! She also spent 8 years in the Army with two tours in Iraq... she is trying to figure out how she can be involved in the Marines..just kidding...when the boys get to San Diego, Myles will get to hang out with our middle daughter who is a RN at the medical center...Life is Good! Now you all know  Barlow Family History!  I am sure much more than Myles has ever wanted anyone to know, but Moms will be Moms...

Welcome Gaileann, Sorry but it is kind of quiet here since our kids are in drydock!

Comment by Pat L. in IL on May 31, 2012 at 2:17pm

Rhonda, I knew it was a rehabbed factory but I could never remember what had been produced there. Now with the "Mayo" the cat, it will help me remember!

Thanks for the HUGE laugh!!

Comment by Pat L. in IL on May 31, 2012 at 1:52pm

If everyone has heard about the "Mayo" house, I better ask Jeff if it is "famous" or "infamous"???? LOL!!
