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 Anti M on January 26, 2011 at 7:04pm: Wow. That's just wrong. I hope you find the blessings you richly deserve in this life, the universe is full of love, and those who love you exactly as you are.

Comment by Sweet*Southern*Lady on January 26, 2011 at 2:15pm: Trouble in paradise. The church won't marry us because we live together. Not sure what to do. I'm pretty torn up about it. Neither one of us plans on moving out of our home, I'm not gonna lie, and whats not fiar is if i was pregnant or had a kid already they would be fine with it! AHH so hmm we might just have to get married here then do a wedding at home for every one.

Comment by Anti M on January 24, 2011 at 6:45pm: I hear you on that one. My active duty friends haven't been able to go for years.

Comment by Sweet*Southern*Lady on January 24, 2011 at 6:29pm: One my dear richy rich friend Prescott Paulin does BM. He keeps trying to talk us into going. Find the time is the hard part.

Comment by Anti M on January 24, 2011 at 5:04pm: I have food allergies and sensitivities, but I quit being picky after I grew up. Too much good food in the world. I figure if I don't like it, I don't have to eat it a second time. I hate raw fish. 12 years in Japan and I don't like sashimi.

Comment by Anti M on January 24, 2011 at 4:43pm: LOL, I've been going to Burning Man for ten years, this is #11. I am a volunteer moderator on the eplaya, the official Burning Man discussion board on the main site. I camp in Hushville, my art project is Anti M's Home for Wayward Art, where people can adopt art and keep it. Have you been before, or are you a burgin (first timer)?

Comment by Sweet*Southern*Lady on January 24, 2011 at 4:04pm: Anti M, i asked you in PCSing if you went to burning man you never answered. I did assume BM is amazing! Maybe i'll see you there!

Brady just wants to get a condo on the beach to save money because i'm such a picky eater "You just eat chicken strips what does it matter where we stay" hahah my reply "Not true i like guacamole, and sushi!"

Comment by Anti M on January 24, 2011 at 9:51am: I've traveled and lived overseas a lot, and the one thing is if you can pick up basic phrases, especially yes, no, please and thank you, it is greatly appreciated.

I don't like the all inclusive resorts as I'm too much of a doityourselfer, we like to explore. I find most of the food at resorts it made for tourists, I am just not into it. I also hate being waited on and and foot, makes me feel weird. Of course, we go to Burning Man every year, which is desert camping and radical self reliance, and every participates and is a rockstar. So yeah, while I have ownership in resorts (not a timeshare, a points ownership), I don't always like them.

Comment by Sweet*Southern*Lady on January 24, 2011 at 12:50am: I decided to keep my bridal party super short. I've been in 6 wedding since i started/graduated college and only speak to 1 still on a regular basis. I don't want to pay for hotels, dresses, shoes, mani/pedi, spa day, jewelry, food for a weekend, photos, undergarments for people who may forget about me once i'm married. Eek! I know its sad but so many girls quit answering the phone once they get married it made me so sad. Also my mom only is still close friends with one of her 12 bridesmaids, just don't want to be a repeat.

I only speak Spain Spanish, that is where my extended family ones a home in Seville. I just don't think I know it well enough to make it in a country where they speak a different form of the language.

Jess, start planning as soon as possible.
