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."

I thank all of you from the very bottom of my heart!!! Just putting this little get together together for the sailors was enough - to pay for all their meals is above and beyond the call of duty!!!! And Donna thank you for the pictures!!! I can see my daughter sitting there!! Moms - thank you for handing out the hugs!! You guys are all the greatest!!! And giving out your phone numbers also - - what more can I say?!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

Comment by Storymom on March 16, 2009 at 4:11am: Donna and Marie, and Valerie....Wow...the best thing is when you said no sailor paid for his/her meal..Your hubbies are terrific...what a heartwarming story
Thank you all, for being so awesome to those sailors!

Comment by Mark on March 16, 2009 at 12:50am: Yay! - thanks Donna! :)

Comment by Mark on March 15, 2009 at 7:20pm: Sounds like you've done your homework on everything Dee - you're right, after around 6 CT you'll have no problems, and that is a great fare...

Comment by Mark on March 15, 2009 at 6:45pm: Hi Dee - good luck to you and Spencer as he begins his adventure. The next two months will be tougher for you than for him, so it's a good thing you found the site. When PIR rolls around, if air fares are reasonably equal, Milwaukee is a better choice than either Chicago airport - traffic is usually brutal, especially since a flight from the west coast will usually get into Chicago around the time traffic is picking up.

Comment by NevadaSierra on March 13, 2009 at 9:46am: Good Morning:
Well, the doc said that the spot on Dan's lung had not changed in two years - so no worries; and he is good with that. Thank you for your prayers. Monday he has the four hour test in Sacramento. Then maybe things will settle back down. Thank you all! My angel blessings~s

Comment by NevadaSierra on March 12, 2009 at 9:55am: Hi Everybody: Please keep praying for our little Brianna. We received a message that she is home the surgery was five hours long. Please keep praying for successful healing and their family. Thank you~s
P.S. We didn't get the message till last night - but we have had the Navy training in 'wait and hear' as well as 'trust and obey' (that is a hymn by the way)! Funny things you learn while waiting for news. Thank you for asking, that warms my heart especially when the doubt starts to creep in! We will hear this morning about Dan's (husband's) spot on his lung.~s

Comment by Susan mom to Niko on March 11, 2009 at 7:46pm: Thanks for the note Donna! My son is really stressing this afternoon... he is working until 3 AM and worried that he will be toooooo tired to do well! Here's hoping he doesn't snooze through the test! That would be bad! tehehe
