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."

was wonding if you would find your way to this site to. I also got a nice long phone call, isn't it nice to be able to talk with our sons about day to day stuff. My sons proposed to his girlfriend right after PIR and wants her to drive from Seattle to GC in September.

I also joined a nuke school charleston group that seems pretty active as well. Diane

To hapsmolmr:  Sorry I'm late in responding.  Don't have much to share from my SR--hope to have letter this week.  Definitely hadn't heard about the flag thing...

Glad you're going to PIR--hope to meet you there!  Looking forward to seeing my SR and the city--have never been there.

I can't believe you have gotten a letter and a call already.  Have not heard anything from Shaun as of yet so have no clue how many Nukes are there.  I did not realize there would be so many I guess cause it's harder I just assumned not many.  But thats awesome so we will all be south Carolina bound for our vacations...Hopefully they will get to all know each other and bond from everything I've read it is going to be very hard.  Best wishes to you and please keep me updated on Matt..   Carol
