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."

Yes, there will always be (for lack of a more fitting superlative) major ignorant jerks that don't understand where and how to appropriately vent thier frustration. Isn't it ironic that the ones they are literally slinging mud at are defending their freedom to do so? That part p*sses me off!

Comment by Kris & Bob on September 27, 2010 at 3:23pm: Madison, No disrespect to everyone that lives there but........

Comment by Rhonda(EMmom) on September 26, 2010 at 9:12pm: Terri E- the restaurant was called Sweetwater, ever hear of it? They had a nice time and they said food was good.

Comment by mom2nw on September 26, 2010 at 10:37am: Rhonda, Kris & Bob: both of those stories made me cry, one with joy and gratitude, one with heartache

Comment by Kris & Bob on September 26, 2010 at 10:31am: It is nice that some people do appreciate what they do. Yet our son went to lunch one day in Mad Town only to be called a baby killer and have the station & vehicles covered in mud on another day while at work. Hence the saying 20 square miles surrounded by reality.

Comment by Rhonda(EMmom) on September 25, 2010 at 10:24pm: Here's a great little story-- my son is on leave in Eau Claire where his girlfriend is going to school. He was taking her out to a very nice dinner. He put on his dress uniform and she bought a very cute black dress to match him. They had wonderful dinner together. The waitress brings him the receipt and tells him it was already taken care of by that gentleman across the room. My son approached the man and said thank you, but man told him, " No, thank you and just keep protecting and serving our country." My son was astonished that was the first time anyone had ever done anything like that. This was a $75 meal he will never forget!

Comment by Jen - Ship10mom(Div340) on September 21, 2010 at 12:26pm: nice to see you here mom2nw!
Hey y'all - my home computer is down. Don't click on a pop-up that says you have a virus and it'll fix it - not even the little x to close it - it's not really an x to close it - it's part of the virus and will start the download. This is twice this year now. try to educate my family on this, and they go and do it again. "I just tried to close it" A-hem, isn't that what I warned you about last time? Just manually shut the computer down - don't click Anything!! Sorry - little rant there. Anyhow, no 'puter @ home, if you can pm me and give name & number, I'll put them in my cell and communicate the old fashioned way. At work now and need to log out.

Thanks all - our PIR is coming up in 2 1/2 weeks, SO excited for our PIR date's meet and greet, PIR itself to see my brand new Sailor!! - and then in a few months to meet some Wisconsin Moms!!! Yay!!

Comment by Rhonda(EMmom) on September 20, 2010 at 3:07pm: I will try and make it, I live in GB so I need to think about travel time and how the roads might be at that time.

Comment by Jakesmom on September 20, 2010 at 12:07pm: Mary, Yes if it's in Madison I would be.....we could carpool if you want.

Comment by Jakesmom on September 20, 2010 at 11:29am: I'm in Chilton which is about 35 miles south of Green Bay, 35 Miles south east of Fond du Lac and 35 miles from Appleton. ANyone who would like to carpool for the M&G in January let me know.....
