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 Chipmunk on December 3, 2018 at 1:31pm: JayDee659 - We have not seen the Piano Guys in concert, but they are favorites of my youngest, so we will have to keep a look out for them to come to town.

Comment by JayDee659 on December 3, 2018 at 12:16pm: My daughter also hated the food at GC but said BC was just fine. Guess she was more hungry at BC :).

B'sNukeMom, glad you liked TSO! I'm looking forward to seeing it again when they change their show up a bit.

Chipmunk, if you haven't seen The Piano Guys they are fabulous also, they and Lindsey Stirling are a tie for 1st place in my concert book.

Comment by B'sNukeMoM⚓️MMN(Vet) on December 3, 2018 at 11:47am: Hi all Happy Monday and welcome December! Let the countdown to Christmas begin!

I remember B loving the food in boot camp but not as much when he got to GC lol! daisysdca - I'm glad your son is enjoying it so far!

We had a fantastic time seeing the Trans-Siberian Orchestra (TSO). I highly recommend it if you have the chance. They put on quite the show!

Comment by Chipmunk on December 3, 2018 at 11:45am: daisysdca - Glad your son has arrived in GC and is enjoying the food!!

B'sNukeMom - I hope you enjoyed TSO as much as we did Lindsey Sterling. They will be in our town on Wed, but we won't be there this year as we have other church obligations.

Watching the funeral procession of George H.W. Bush on CBS live if anyone is interested.

Comment by Mammagoose on December 2, 2018 at 2:49pm: Pandalvr, mine does too. I tell him he’s just spoiled.

Comment by pandalvr on December 2, 2018 at 1:56pm: My son hates the food

Comment by daisysdca on December 2, 2018 at 1:19pm: My Sailor arrived in GC yesterday!!! Just skyped with him and he showed us his room! He said the food is amazing with Old Bay seasoning on every table. (My son loves food. Half his letters from BC was him describing what he ate.)

Comment by B'sNukeMoM⚓️MMN(Vet) on December 1, 2018 at 1:17pm: Sad news - RIP George H. W. Bush #41. You will be missed. Fair winds and following seas.

Comment by Chipmunk on November 30, 2018 at 10:53pm: JayDee659 - My sailor is the one who introduced us to Lindsey Sterling and her music. When he heard she was to be in town, he was the one that encouraged me to get tickets for the family, even if he couldn't be there.

ARenee - The different Divisions may call on different days. Sat, was just when ours called. Also, I think they make calls on Sun afternoon.
