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."

oh fun DivontesMom...and nice he is headed home for a few days...

Comment by HuskyMom on March 23, 2014 at 10:06pm: Okay, Western NY ladies. A group of us moms on FB are talking about a wine and painting get together. There is a studio in Lockport that does this. We can have a private party where we get a picture that we are taught as a group to paint. If we choose a "2 hour picture" it's $35 per person and if we choose a 3 hour picture it's $45 per person. 10 person minimum and I think I have the minimum. Anyone interested? And if so, are there any weekends that are not good for you? The weekend of the 5th is not good for me as my Sailor will be coming home for 3 days so he can buy a car (his 1st!).

Comment by momma4 on March 19, 2014 at 8:13am: Hi spomss :) yes so very excited.. 29 more days! I am on the Island .. pretty for from Upstate NY... how is your son/daughter doing?
