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."

THE CALL

You know, for a being a scripted phone call, that was the best call in the world! While she was talking (and I could hear others in the background saying the same thing) I'm like "Keep talking. I love you I love you I love you I love you..." til she said "Got to go!"

I feel so blessed that she texted me a little while they were driving from Milwaukee to bc. I'm printing that conversation off and putting it in a scrapbook! I stopped when she said she was going to take a nap...I know with the stress and traveling sleep is a good thing right now.

Her friend Bri is also there. She joined this spring and they were able to have the same bc date...I wonder if they'll be in the same division? How cool would THAT be? Just thankful they're both safe and on their way!

Now I'M exhausted. Time to get off the computer and do some housework. HA! Right.

Comment by lemonelephant on July 2, 2013 at 6:32pm: BTW, edit your Blog to add a Post Title. When you don't include a title, the NING program automatically puts the first 200 characters of your post in as the title and that gets pretty long. Click "Options" in the upper right, then "Edit Post" and insert a title.
