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."

Hi ladies,

While waiting for BC graduation, the best TV distraction is Downton Abby.    Is anyone out there a fan?  I would love to hear from you.  I have been in love with the series and now own all three seasons.  Just finished season 3 and it was well worth the wait.   I find it to be a calm and wonderful distraction to pass the time until graduation day.   Would love to hear from other fans.....

Hi ladyhawk,  this series is written by Julian Fellows, on BBC channels 2 and 8.    It is set around Titanic times, and is about a family of Aristocrats (upstairs) and their staff of valets, butlers and maids ( downstairs) Filmed in Yorkshire, England, (been there years ago)  at gorgeous at Highclere Castle.   Is is on weekends, all different times you will find it under masterpiece theatre.  You would love it...english soap opera, very proper and people knew how to speak and behave properly.   and the dresses are magnifico....
