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."

Want to have some fun? We have slightly over two (2) weeks to pack and head to Great Lakes! There will be no cheating ~ LOL We are all on N4Ms several times a day. At least once a day, drop in to this discussion and name one, or more, items you have packed for the trip. The item(s) must be either in a suitcase OR placed in a designated "I am taking this to Great Lakes" designated spot.

You may remember something others may be forgetting...want to have some fun?

Oh, guess I had better get started. Am baking tonight for an Aloette party my girls are having this week. I am making a sausage dip and am making enough to bring for my son to snack on, since this is one of his favorites. Will be on my "taking to GL" list.
arlietx...Thank you for the reminder!
I live here so I'm not packing anything, but I did buy a new pair of slacks since I have lost weight and all my clothes are falling off! ;0)
I thought you were staying at the Navy Lodge Thursday night?
Congrats JulieR, Fantastic!!!!!
My Mom's winter coat since she lives in Florida and only uses it when she comes to my house in winter. My parents are also flying up "i am taking this to Great Lakes"
I have packed two pair of my long knee-high socks with toes and my new red monkey slippers that nurseysis bought me! They are great Navy Lodge room slippers : ) ~ kk
Okay. Got my winter coat out and had my 14 year old girls try theirs on. Unfortunately, now I have to go buy new coats for the girls. Looks like a shopping trip this weekend.
