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."

We would love to have you post your family pictures, naval carriers, ships, subs, planes, anything you have found in your archives, family albums, etc. I think the winner is a 4th generation Navy family. Does anyone have 5?
We love to hear stories. Come join our group and post your old photos in our discussions. If you want to know about planes, Connie is our airplane expert, LOL!!
This is the USS Vermont. My grandfather was taken to France on this ship during WWI.

Wow, I'm overwhelmed. Baseball is Patricks and my deceased grandparents favorite pastime. I'd sit and watch baseball with my grandma. (St. Louis Cardinals - I was born in St. Louis). Then I recently found pictures of my grandpa as a pitcher from 1912. Not Navy though. Karen, don't really see Matt much in the picture though - except his eyes.
Debby, do you have any stories you could post on the Navy History Group page about being a riverine in Vietnam?
Paula S., wouldn't that be weird if our grandpa's were in France together?
BTW, if you so choose, you can repost these on the Navy History Group. Just attach the picture, click on options, and choose 300 or 400 and post it.
Wendy, I have to know more about the B-29 to share with my father. He was project design manager on most of the Navy's planes.

Karen, do you mean Air Corp? My dad was in the Army/Air Corp and he says something like "there wasn't an air force in WWII, it was the Air Corp. So do you think it was that? (I'm not 100% certain considering my dad is 85, but he's pretty sharp on facts from back then, just not where to find his keys, LOL!)

Can you subscribe to those? What are they? Thanks Cynthia.

Have you looked him up on www.navylog.org ?
I have that link on the history group. But I think in order for something to be there, someone had to have posted it originally - a family member maybe. Yes, it says on the home page add your service profile. You can build your own scrapbook on the site.
