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 DramaSoul on October 22, 2012 at 11:55pm: Soooo True!!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on October 22, 2012 at 11:46pm: Just like the Military ...

Comment by DramaSoul on October 22, 2012 at 11:36pm: FTLW....I like your responses!! Although maybe the blue goes with the Lions' baby blue eyes? And watch out...colors change. The Seahawks colors don't look like they did when the team was first started I learned the new overtime rule (thank you Jets and Patriots). See...just when you THINK you know the rules...they change them!!!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on October 22, 2012 at 11:05pm: Drama - I STILL have to get that book! I saw some interesting things yesterday. A "safety" when the ball was kicked out of bounds and a "throwin it away"...to avoid an intentional grounding...don't ask me to explain the details...I'll get it wrong LOL.

I still ask stupid questions like, "I wonder if the Bengal Tigers LIKE their uniforms?"...and "WHY would the Lions have Baby Blue on their uniform?"

Bless my husband for thinking I am cute :-)

Comment by DramaSoul on October 22, 2012 at 10:43pm: FTLW....LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on October 22, 2012 at 10:34pm: My husband says that if he has to watch the SAME commercials all Football season he is, "...gong to loose my mind!" Especially that certain one with the car that starts with a P.

"Okay, I'll BUY the car...just STOP singing that song!"

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on October 22, 2012 at 10:32pm: Well, I'm late to the party..as usual :-)

Bea, wonderful story and LOVE the pics. I can see why your sons were inspired. Thank you for sharing that.

It's...what's a good word...interesting to see a few say how their loved ones didn't talk much about their experiences. My father was a Lt. CMDR in the Navy and his ship was sunk. POW for three years in the Phillipines. He did not talk about that much. I don't blame him. The little he did I could see was very painful.

On a lighter note...I remember eating "sea rats" when I was little...very vividly...the olive green cans with their bold black writing. The very salty cheese (which they STILL make for MRE's LOL), peanut butter and the hard crackers. He also liked to cook HUGE batches of Chili and Navy Bean Soup...only way he could from his Navy experience of cooking. I am an only child so it went a loooong way!

Comment by BunkerQB on October 20, 2012 at 2:34am: Fun video.

For those of you old enough to remember the Ventures (Walk, Don't Run), a rock 'n roll group from '50s and '60s. Their original 17 year old drummer who left after 8 months and went into the Air Force ... now a four star General. A reunion with the General on the drums.

If you don't remember, ask your parents.

Comment by Concernedad on October 19, 2012 at 12:21pm: Having a son or daughter in the Navy makes it so much more important for you to vote for the candidate who isn't pushing for a heavily reduced military.

Comment by Denise - browns57 on October 19, 2012 at 11:54am: So true! I just wish there was a button on my tv to turn off all the ads. Same with on facebook. I'm getting tired of listening to all the BS!
