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 Maddie on October 29, 2011 at 3:41pm: Dang, you guys have been busy! Lots of pages to go through! lol.

Bandito's mom, congratulations on your son's graduation. You've been with us at the Nuke Moms group for so long, I forgot yours is just about to join SC. Are you going to PIR? If you do, have a good time! I am counting the days till mine comes home for the holiday break!

Comment by elizabeth on October 29, 2011 at 2:06am: Bandito's Mom, yes it is in Van Nuys.

MomofNuke, The assembly day that is being talked of is with "Operation Gratitude", helping to pack packages to be sent over seas.

Comment by Bandito's Mom on October 29, 2011 at 12:15am: maybe can make Nov 26,

Have to work Nov 25, and Dec 5. Probably in Fiji Dec 7.

I looked at their site for only seconds, will look again tomorrow and let you know. Is the location in the valley?

Comment by MomofNuke on October 28, 2011 at 12:16pm: What is an assembly day? I might be able to make it depending on when it is. I'm leaving to see my SR graduate for Nuke Power School Nov. 23 & will be gone until Dec. 25 (he is in South Carolina, moving to NY for the final school before being assigned to a ship & I'm taking the train) helping him move & taking my vacation at the same time.

Comment by elizabeth on October 28, 2011 at 11:45am: Also volunteering for operation gratitude, signed up for afternoons on the 25th, 26th and morning of dec. 5th & 7th,

Comment by elizabeth on October 28, 2011 at 11:36am: DevilDocMom, Did you go to Van Nuys High? April Whitney was in my graduating class from VNH. A volunteer mini meet & greet sounds great. I am getting ready to leave tomorrow to go up to Sacramento for 10 days, don't how much time I will have to get on a computer.

Comment by Bandito's Mom on October 28, 2011 at 11:04am: a Volunteering Mini Meet & Greet sounds great, Can someone take the lead and put some dates and info together? I am focused on my SR's PIR next week and then hoping to spend some time with him when he comes home to move with DIL

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on October 28, 2011 at 4:23am: DeviL Doc Mom - NO wayyy! "Way" Shaa...(okay taking you into the early nineties!) Too cool for school! KROQ! Love it! Love the 80's!

Hubby and I went to soooo many Oingo Boingo concerts! They were wild! He's crowd surfing, giant beach balls, blow up Godzillas! They were originally called "The Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo"...

...having a FUN nostalgia time with you all!

'Member when radio stations used to have the marathons on the radio in the summer and they would print in the paper ALL the songs with the artists names by it? They almost always announced the artist with each song back then too. Too much fun! Beach Boys in the Summer...the best!

Operation Gratitude sounds great! Will have to check it out.

I wonder if the bases are serving Turkey dinner to the guys that have to stay for Thanksgiving? We went out to hubby's base one Thanksgiving and served dinner...it was a great family thing to do. The boys were little and still remember it.

For your viewing pleasure, you Boingos! Grey Matter with the balaphones...One I always remember):
