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."

Nancy, I am sorry I missed that. It would have been easy to add. I didn't think it made as much sense but my eyes aren't the best right now ... complications from cataract surgery. It's always good to have an excuse ... an I'm sticking to it as DH says. Thanks for adding this.

I have a special folder for Navy Moms too! I'm hoping to make some pillow cases but just can't commit at this moment. We work for ourselves and things are swamped right now so when it calms down I'll try to fit that in.

Karin, if you have Quicktime player installed, I don't know why you are having a problem. Sue had a problem installing Quicktime player so I sent it to her private e-mail address. If you make me a friend and PM me your private address, I will be glad to forward the original e-mail to you. Dori
