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 mom2nw on May 18, 2011 at 2:27pm: Jen's son is on the Stennis, I think....

Comment by Kris, Stevens mom on May 18, 2011 at 2:24pm: So Steven got his orders, even though he's been doing the whole Nuke sub training for the last 1 1/2yrs - he was assigned to the carrier John C Stennis out of Bremerton, WA. Reports July 4th, should be home for a bit in June :)

I am looking at places in Stevens Points for us, I am going to call & see if I can get any kind of deals.

Comment by mom2nw on May 18, 2011 at 12:33pm: Welcome, eaglemom!...are you eagle mom as in Eagle Scout?..there's also an Eagle Scout Mom group. Hope you can join in the fun at the up coming WI N4M gathering in July.

Comment by Philly5 (Justin's proud mom) on May 17, 2011 at 8:40pm: Yes, it sure was a beautiful day here in WI.

Comment by Kimberly Joy on May 17, 2011 at 8:01pm: I just wanted to say, Hurray for the sun finally! Wisconsin is not as gray as it has been! That brings some more joy into my heart.

Comment by Kimberly Joy on May 14, 2011 at 12:50pm: That sounds like a good weekend. I live such an exciting life I will have to pencil that in (not). To tell the truth, we live like hermits pretty much so pretty much any weekend would be good for us.

Comment by mom2nw on May 14, 2011 at 8:29am: Kris...sounds great, I'll be there.

Congrats nytesail!...are you within the 50 miles that he can come home for the day? we were 75 miles away :(

Comment by Philly5 (Justin's proud mom) on May 14, 2011 at 8:16am: Kris - sounds good!!

Comment by nytesail on May 13, 2011 at 11:28pm: Just got back from PIR!! Wow...I sort of felt like I was cheating living so close to the base. Some families traveled so far and here I am getting to sleep in my own bed tonight and a day of Liberty tomorrow with my son. We stayed at the Gateway on the base and had a view of Lake Michigan.lol

All in all the best Friday the 13th ever! :>)))

Comment by Kris, Stevens mom on May 12, 2011 at 4:31pm: Hello - how does the weekend of July 15-17 look? We could meet Saturday 16th for an allday potluck (we are from wisconsin!) /get together & then do an evening thing too for people who want to stay and or traveled a distance. The plan would be Stevens Point/WI Rapids/Wausau area. I will research parks & hotels. Let me know as we should get going on this. We will do a majority rule.

thanks
