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 Sierrascrapper (ETN2) on September 17, 2013 at 11:57am: For any of you that are interested...Disy and I are helping with the N4M Holiday Project. Each year this group picks a ship that will be deployed during Christmas and sends them goodie bags. This year they have chosen two ships...the Truman and the Boxer. There are close to 8000 Sailors and Marines on these ships. They really need more help. Here's the link...

Comment by Sierrascrapper (ETN2) on September 17, 2013 at 11:52am: Disy...I have been collecting items the last few weeks. I got a good deal on white washrags that I am going to stitch an anchor in. I also bought mini squirt guns that I got for cheap cheap. Mini hand sanitizer, hot chocolate pkts, tea bags, hard candy, oatmeal pkts. I can't remember if I got more stuff or not. I'll check when I get home

Comment by Disy (Ship12Div371) on September 17, 2013 at 11:01am: Sierrascrapper - what are you putting in your goody bags for the Truman and Boxer?

Comment by Disy (Ship12Div371) on September 17, 2013 at 11:00am: Goodness I feel like I am going crazy - 3 Facebook pages going and I only get a chance to read your posts and smile but not comment!!! I agreed to be the point person for BS21 for PIR 10/4! We have a lovely group of people but one odd ball messaging me - last night - well let's just say it was a bit too much information!!! LOL! Hope everyone is well and doing well!

Have a wonderful Tuesday!

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on September 16, 2013 at 11:32pm: When mine were little people would ask them their names and Stephen would say,"just Steve". Now somehow with how grown up he is in the Nave I tend to call him Stephen. I always introduced them as Sam and Steve, so once when asked what his real name was Sam piped up with, "Salmon". I guess cause I always said fast, Sam and Steve he thought it was Salmon. LOL.

Comment by Sierrascrapper (ETN2) on September 16, 2013 at 11:13pm: BTW Kandra...Twin 1 is a Nathanael. We don't call him Nate very often, but sometimes it comes out. He just likes his full name. We tend to shorten his brother's name a lot even though I swore I wouldn't. LOL Twin 2 is Jonathan. Dad calls him Jon all the time. I said when I named him, that I named him Jonathan, if I wanted him to be a John, I would've named him that way.

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on September 16, 2013 at 9:34pm: pictures please of you two sailors and your recruit. If you look backwards you will see posts of all of our twins. Or you can if you friend us all can look on everyones pages for pics.
