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."

Went jogging and heard applause behind me but when I turned to see who it was, I realized it was my butt cheeks slapping together

 

I saw this saying on status shuffle on facebook today and thought it was hilarious. I thought I would share it with you and give you a good laugh. :)

msvines, join the San Fran group so when you are out here you can meet up with others in your area. I positive I left you a message somewhere. But didn't see it on your page.

msvines, yes this is his first deployment. I have to agree I don't like the silence either and I only get and email every once in a while. He never was big on emailing though. I am just so happy when I do get one. I didn't try to email him again today because after I write this I am on my way to school myself. Got my daughter off this morning and now my turn. My son is an E5 now. I am so proud of how they can advance to quickly. I also and I may have mentioned this but have one in the Airforce as well. He is Balad, Iraq right now. So I guess you could say my sailor has been on the Port Royal for a year now but just deployed this June. He has been in Hawaii for a year now as of August 7th. We are going to see him next summer as well, I am hoping. Gotta see finances first. Plus I will be doing Clinicals and gotta see where those stand too. I am going for Radiographer. I have been in for 3 yrs now trying to get all of my classes done before I started the program. I did pretty good at getting the really hard ones out of the way. I just have, other than the Rad classes, 4 more to take. It has been a long journey. I don't work either so makes it even nicer.

Well you have a good day off I go.

msvines, how great 2 yrs. Mine as I have said already has been in for 4yrs and not sure if he staying or going. One minute says staying and the next leaving. Who knows. Well I don't know about you but I keep emailing him today and it keeps sending them back saying they can't deliver the email. I will maybe try later and see if there is something wrong with mine or his emails. I figured I would leave you a message on here since it is so new. Where do you live? I live in PA.

I am proud to have this group so many family and friends and other relatives can have a somewhere to go to talk about their family members on the Port Royal. My sailor is out on deployment right now. I hope that others join this group and hopefully we can keep each other informed of what is going on while our kids are out to sea.
