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 CO-TwinSalorsMom on August 8, 2013 at 7:55pm: I am headed for Sacramento to see my Dad then on the 27th will be headed for the coast Point Arena, south of Ft. Bragg. I think if I stay on the train it just has a real brief stop in Reno. If I got off I may be able to get the next train but not till the next day. It gets to Sacramento if on time at 3:30 ish so when would it be in Reno?

Comment by Sierrascrapper (ETN2) on August 8, 2013 at 7:45pm: How fun CO-twin! I will ask for that day off. I forget where your original destination is going to be. If it's the Bay Area...then you might enjoy driving the rest of the way. If farther...I would suggest you stay on the train. Is there a lay-over when it stops in Reno?

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on August 8, 2013 at 7:39pm: I will be coming through Reno on 9-26 the train stops there I wonder if I should get off there and rent a car for that balance of the trip?

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on August 8, 2013 at 7:37pm: Even though I am in Colorado, I have been disappointed with them letting Tebow go. I grew up in the Bay Area so I will be rooting for the 49ers

Comment by Sierrascrapper (ETN2) on August 8, 2013 at 6:57pm: So Cathy...I MUST know your football teams! I have a feeling it's going to be the Cowboys...who happened to lose to my Redskins last year on Thanksgiving. LOL I almost got kicked out of my friend's house during dinner because her Cowboys were loosing. Ah...good times.

Comment by Sierrascrapper (ETN2) on August 8, 2013 at 6:33pm: CO-twin...LOVE that football emoticon or graphic.

Comment by Sierrascrapper (ETN2) on August 8, 2013 at 6:32pm: Wow...doubletrouble. They look so much younger. Not that they weren't handsome before, but they look sharp with their hair gone. The transformation has begun. You must be so proud!

I'm a big football fan! In fact...I'm so looking forward to the 49er/Broncos game tonight. Go Kaepernick!

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on August 8, 2013 at 4:06pm: Oh 2xtrouble What handsome sons!! wow. How did they deal with losing all that hair? such blue eyes.

How could I have guessed you would like football? LOL

Comment by Disy (Ship12Div371) on August 8, 2013 at 3:42pm: Wow! All those curls!! They look gorgeous!

Comment by doubletrouble on August 8, 2013 at 2:51pm: Ok ladies, I thought I would get the haircut pics up before you all revolt! I'm sneaking doing it at work so sshhhh.

The first set, in the green shirt, is Darien, he's the one that just left and Jacob is in the black shirt and leaves Monday!

I'm doing amazingly well today, of course I've been at work. All of the baseball talk was pretty funny. I'm not into baseball, but I saw someone posted they are football fans, me too! I love football. Talk to you ladies later.
