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."

thanks Gnome I hope you do too!  I'm spending the day in search of a poetry or writing club - no luck so far but I'm keeping my fingers crossed and if I don't find anything I could try to start my own.

I Gnome I saw your post about tapestry needles and I'm not a part of that group so I thought I'd write you a message here.  I've brought knitting needles on planes before without an issue.  I bet it wouldn't be a problem.  You could always call ahead and ask.  I know I do a lot of knitting while my husband is gone to keep my nerves contained.  :)

Hey Gnome! Thanks for adding me as a friend. You have a daughter, don't you? I wonder if our divisions bunk together..

We should share names

Hey!  Absolutely.. I'll inbox you his number.. he is really informative and super helpful.  I would recommend having him take you there.. even tho they say the line goes quickly getting into RTC, it was at least 2 miles in length for our daughter's PIR.  She had 12 div. grad. so it was a big grad.  He drops you right at the gate and you just walk in and get in line.  There were ppl. getting into grad. right up to 9:00AM.. we got in and were seated by 7AM. or so.  We called when we were ready after graduation and he was right there to pick us up.. all 10 of us.  he knows area restaurants and such, just nice to have someone there that knows what's going on.
