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."

What is FMF?
Found it.  So does that mean he would be a medic with the Marines ? So he would be on land with them?   
Yes he would be a medic for the marines. I would guess if he is attached to a marine group that he would be on land and not on a ship.
thanks Christa i am trying too. Hope your house is bright tonight :)
I am sorry that you are down. Btw, what does "FMF" stand for?? I am new to this acronym stuff....
Ok ladies get your lighter ready
my blueberry scented candle is burning brightly!  ;0)
thats funny christa i also have a blueberry candle. Its so strong. I have it in the kitchen and i smell it in the bedroom.
LOL... mine is making me hungry!  LOL....
lol i got mines from walmart it was the closest color to navy blue. I wish they had a better scent. So are you ladies letting it burn all night?

desireenavygf  I would not like that either but try researching the Groups and Forums before you get to freaked out.

Things will work out the way they are supposed to.    p.s my candle stinks.........but its burning!

Never mind on the "FMF" thing, I will look it up. Funny you all should say you are burning Blueberry Candles. That was the one scent that mom she said NOT to get. And, it is the closet to Navy Blue that they had. So, what did I do?? I went to Walmart and bought 4 candles all different shades of blue, AND 3 of the four candles has the word "Water" or "Ocean" in it. LOL.  

 

Also, I have 30 people attending the candle burning event for our SR's from Facebook. Lots of good Ju-Ju!!!
