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."

Ash's mom..are you flying or driving to Great Lakes? We are from Birmingham and we are going to drive up Thursday and back on Monday.

We're flying.... we were too scared of the snow/ice to drive. Hopefully it's going to warm up and it'll be pretty for us! We're going Thursday and coming home Sunday.

Hello all! Just thought I'd let you know that I called the Ramada today and introduced myself and asked some questions about the Meet and Greet. Since I'm located in Chicago I thought I could be their local contact.

Basically...they take care of everything. The only thing additional we may want is decorations and a cake.

Also, be thinking about this...at some point during the evening they will ask if anyone wants to come up to a microphone and say a few words about your recruit. Thought this might be helpful to know in advance if you want a chance to actually prepare for that.

They actually come on and check for RSVP's so we don't even need to call them with that.

Sounds pretty simple. If anyone is arriving early and wants to help with adding some decorations to the room, let me know.

Can't wait!!!
