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."

I had a baaaad night last night.Starting to REALLY resent Sundays..that's the day my boy left for MEPS ):
Here's hoping our SRs call us on Thursday!

newhorizons - what a GREAT idea you have!!!!!!
Hey Ladies here is my idea Blue satin or blue sheer with a white magnolia. Or a white rose like shown just smaller and then the writing on bottom in white with date in very corner Ms Ampi let me know what you think or if you have spoke with your brother about the t's maybe he could make the image and we can put that on the scarf?

Lovely! I will check with my brother to work on it this week. My question- Do we want it to say "NERD Division" or not?
Ms Ampi...maybe we shouldn't put NERD division? Maybe that can be our mom's inside joke (:
~tracy
newhorizons...very pretty! The smaller flower may be better. My other question is; what is the backwards C shape on the N ? It kinda looks like it is supposed to signify another letter. Also...and I don't mean to come off being picky....but the viney things look a bit busy.I do admire your talent!!
~tracy
tkc...I agree. That will be OUR joke (:
~tracy
I made a magnolia looking flower that I will take a picture of . the sketch is just a "P" over and "N" with mom in middle smaller..your right about viney things- PS I like it best when people are straight forward and completley honest with me so PLEASE Be picky. The viney things are supposed to be wave like It is a sketch that took 2 minutes needs to be improved greatly on lets see if MS Ampi brother can come up with something. Best wishes to all!!!
PHEW...glad you're not offended! I have a habit of speaking out. Hubby says I only open my mouth to change my sox....ha ha!
Okay...I understand about the P & N and I like it!! I think just leave P N Mom...but let's ses what other mom think.
~tracy
sorry P stands for proud navy mom. Maybe we should just simply print whole words out "PROUD NAVY MOM"
I like the complete phrase "Proud Navy Mom"- great idea!
