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."

Hello All and a very MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! I hadn't seen a group formed yet for our ship, so I thought I would start one (Ship 02, Div 911 - USS Reuben James (PIR Feb 4, 2011)) so we all can be in touch! We have a special connection with band, choir, and drill team!  It will be great to share our experiences, stories and plans to meet up for PIR in Feb!  I'm a new Navy mom, and missing my daughter greatly right about now (as I am sure we all are missing our loved ones!), but am so very proud.  Let's chat!

You gals are hilarious!  I turn my back for just a minute (well, long enough to drop my son off at his work) and look what happens?!  So... zebra print, huh?!  Well, no, I do not have a husband either (single for 20+ years now ... a story for another time or a private conversation), but my son is 29 so it helps me to think in terms of "our guys"!  He's out on the zebra prints scarves by the way!!!  And, I'm with you Robyn ... Chicago is a bit tooooo cold!  ;o)
