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."

Comment by navywife1126 on August 11, 2010 at 7:50pm: I have a few military wive books that I've been saving for deployment.

Comment by navywife1126 on August 11, 2010 at 7:39pm: I love that stuff! My husband took it to work once...and I was looking for it FOREVER! Then he finally fessed up. I made him go to work and get it! You'd think I was pregnant! Sheesh.

Comment by Kim (Ethan's Mom) on August 11, 2010 at 7:35pm: OK it's on my grocery list! I just have to try it!

Comment by Kim (Ethan's Mom) on August 11, 2010 at 7:33pm: Love it Lynn! I think I need one of those upstairs in my medicine cabinet! lol

Comment by Myheartisatsea on August 11, 2010 at 7:22pm: MM, that was way too funny! I'm sitting in my office at work and, in reading that I actually let out an audible laugh. Thanks for the smile! I know we sometimes hide fear through silliness though, so I'll say a prayer for you and send you my best wishes.

And ladies....this Nutella conversation is really peaking my curiosity in this product! I've never tried it. I've got one heck of a peanut butter jones as it is and it's a battle of internal wills to not stop in the pantry to sneak a spoonful at least once a day. I can't imagine how hard it would be to stay out of a jar if I were to buy one. Lol! I'm sure it's just like Rebecca says. I've gone from a size 12 to a size 4 and I workout 2 hours a day and I eat so much darn tuna I'm about to grow gills and SWIM away! That Nutella sounds like my doom. I'll have to live vicariously through the rest of you. And I'll probably send some to my son...so thanks for the idea! :) sigh....young metabolisms, what I wouldn't give to have those days back again. :)

Comment by Kim (Ethan's Mom) on August 11, 2010 at 6:59pm: That is awesome, CSMom!

Comment by Kim (Ethan's Mom) on August 11, 2010 at 6:51pm: OK now I have to try Nutella! I love chocolate anyway and you girls have peaked my curiosity for it.
Mamma Mary, I hope everything comes out fine. When I was taking chemo, I had to have heart scans and I was told that I indeed had a heart. lol Aren't they just funny sometimes?

Comment by Marty Mc on August 11, 2010 at 6:27pm: MM-glad to hear the good news, I pray that the doc gives you good news.

Comment by Graysmom on August 11, 2010 at 6:06pm: Hi everyone...I've been off & on all day. I'm the grumpy one in the room so I tend to not chat much but I love you all. Glad to see the wives/girlfriends are connecting so well. Love the way the moms nurture & secure the page offering lots of encouragement & a zip-ya-lip when needed.
nw1126...your new pic touched my heart. I can't say more without bringing us all down so I won't but big hugs to everyone.
Do you remember Nutella was the first sponser that dropped Koby Bryant when he was in trouble a few years ago?
I've never tried it but now I'm afraid to if it's as good as you all say!
Have a great evening everyone. :)

Comment by Marty Mc on August 11, 2010 at 5:10pm: Food is sounding good! My 2 hr "don't eat!" after a temporary crown was put on a molar is almost up... problem is all this novocaine makes me feel like mashed potatoes is a better idea... My DDS is about 8mo. pregnant. I found myself wondering if her daughter would grow up to LIKE the sound of drills... Not me!
