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 Susan mom to Niko on January 6, 2009 at 11:28pm: Angie,
Wish you could join us at Alderwood too! Maybe later this spring! Happy to hear that you are out and about!

Comment by Susan mom to Niko on January 5, 2009 at 1:35pm: Works for me! Looking forward to meeting everyone!

Comment by Susan mom to Niko on January 5, 2009 at 1:27am: We have two inches and the snow is still falling here in Redmond... Weatherman promises it will turn to rain by midnight. Hope that means the roads will improve!

Comment by Susan mom to Niko on January 4, 2009 at 9:39pm: Jan 31 at Alderwood Mall sounds great! Where in the mall and what time???

Comment by Susan mom to Niko on January 4, 2009 at 1:41pm: Tracy... My son would call with the emotional breakdown. All you can do is listen offer advice to eat and get some sleep. Then I would not hear from him until I would call. He would think I was nuts when I would ask how he was. "Fine, why?" would be the answer most times. Turns out he would call unburden and then be just fine! If the 'funk' sticks with him encourage him to talk it out with his chaplain. Knowing there is someone there to talk to can help a lot!

Comment by laurie147 on January 3, 2009 at 3:03am: me and the kids at the Midway Museum in San Diego it was great

Comment by Susan mom to Niko on January 1, 2009 at 5:39pm: Happy New Year! I have been away for the last week. My sailor made it home on Christmas Eve through the snow. Silly us we planned a trip to Park City to see family and for skiing and to see the snow... little did we know we would have plenty of snow at home! I am happy to hear so much of the snow has melted away... Hoping Angie is dug out soon!

Comment by NevadaSierra on December 31, 2008 at 10:21am: Hey Angeie! Thank you. I love the pictures and idea for the cards. I'm not very crafty any more (hurt my arms and wrists) - but I'll help. One of the reasons I love the Hallmark movie The Christmas Card is because it is of home. I think our sailor's would love cards from home. I love the pictures of all over.
Everyone has their own mind set of what things look like somewhere else, and your pictures are a great view of your world. Thank you!

Comment by NevadaSierra on December 30, 2008 at 10:32pm: Hi Everybody: Before it starts, I want to wish all of you a very happy and safe new years celebration. One of the great blessings is having this site! Thank you all. My angel blessings, Susan

Comment by Mark on December 29, 2008 at 10:28pm: OK... this is last Tuesday morning looking north and a little west towards Silverdale (and Bangor ~10 miles away) from my balcony two miles due north of the Stennis in Bremerton.
