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 September 20, 2013 at 6:03pm: Oh also, call me a mean mom but the boys pay their own phone bills. Always have since they wanted phones. It nips over texting in the bud and buying games. Since they have to pay if they over do they learn really fast to not do that.

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on September 20, 2013 at 6:01pm: We have a Verizon family plan. It does not work however when they are on a ship. Steve's is on military suspension right now while he is on deployment. Luckily as an IT there is a phone at his work station that he can call home with. I called Verizon and they suspend service until we reinstate that phone, did it both times they were in BC also.

Comment by cathymgShip03Div367&ship11Div383 on September 20, 2013 at 5:03pm: CO-Twin, I have cell phone questions?? CAn you tell me what kind of plan your boys have. I went to get Bryce a new smart phone today and I found out that my carrier isn't global and might not get the best service in Pensacola, not sure what the best thing to do is.

Comment by Sierrascrapper (ETN2) on September 20, 2013 at 3:14pm: We have room for 7 in my Durango, so however many we need to fit is perfectly fine. It is going to be a FUN day. I love IKEA too. It's been probably a year since I've gone there. Stashing $$$ this week just for the trip :)

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on September 20, 2013 at 1:56pm: You are doing something special, you are taking a day off work and driving me to Sacramento to IKEA!! what fun that will be. My Dad wants to go he loves it there. funny.

Comment by Sierrascrapper (ETN2) on September 20, 2013 at 1:13pm: Cant wait til next Thursday CO-twin! Hopefully I can come up with something special for you too. I'm trying to think of something cool for our local Navy Moms picnic this weekend. I'm going to figure something out today. I got a good idea from one of the Moms in another group...so I might give her idea a try. We'll see.

Good luck with your yard sale this weekend!
