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'm in but I'll have to let you know around the 15th what we can do. My baby (25) girl is moving to Florida on Saturday. The only good thing about it is "Road Trip" I'll be driving her down with her.

HI Pat,

I've been contacted my the girl scout council here in Ct asking if they could donate more Girl Scout cookies. Would you like me to get some for this adoption? If yes, how many boxes would you want me to send off? If you want them I'll get a few Navy moms and do a small packing party.

Donna, YES, that would be great!! There are 225 in this month's group so I think as many boxes of cookies as you can get! If you do a small packing party (remember a packing party can be as few as 2! LOL!), not to worry, we will work out postage!!!

Thank you, GS cookies will be a hit!!!!
