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 Catsmom on August 19, 2014 at 9:00pm
spyder, not sure, I am starting the year as manager. They still have to go through the interview process. Not sure when that will happen. Start back on Sept.2nd. That is the district for you. Praying I get it though. The extra money would be nice. I can save to go see Crystal.
Comment by spyder013 on August 19, 2014 at 12:51pm
Anna, sounds like a wonderful day for you...good job!
Catsmom, when do you get official notification?
Comment by Catsmom on August 19, 2014 at 12:51pm
Wow Elenasmom, didn't relive that had happened! Someone has to know where her things are! Not a good way to start off for sure! Praying all gets settled soon.

Anna, enjoy your time, give that sweet baby a hug for me. And I think you have earned some lazy time. :-) Sounds like a fun trip planned.
Comment by Anna on August 19, 2014 at 12:42pm

Good afternoon everyone!!

Elenasmom,

That is not right!!!  Someone knows where her stuff is if they went through all the work to cut the lock and such.  I hope she keeps pestering people until they find her stuff.  Uniforms alone are expensive enough and not something you can just go out and replace.  Sorry she had to deal with this BS!!!  Hope it gets sorted out fast!!

Catsmom,

I will definitely let you know when we get out to SD.  We reserved a space at the Campland on the Bay for a whole month.  Hubby and I want to spend some time exploring our old haunts, then I think his plans are to travel up to Oregon, cut east and come back down the eastern side of CA before heading to the Grand Canyon.  Jean, I will for sure let you know if we make up to WA.  Our nephew lives in Bremerton now.  He fell in love with the area when he went to visit Catherine while she was living there, so after he got out of the Navy he moved there!!!!  Then she moved back to PA!!!!  Oh well!!!

I am spending my day today babysitting little Melanie!!!  Momma's at work and Daddy (my oldest son) went for a job interview so Grandma and Grandpa are playing with the 18 month old!!!  She is so funny and so many little things make her giggle!!  It is such an infectious giggle!!!!!  I know I have to finish cleaning the apartment and taking more things up to the trailer when I get back next week,  but for now - I am enjoying being totally lazy!!!!!

Hope everyone has a fantastic week!!!!!

What a flipping mess...some welcome to ship life!!!I bet someone finds out for her today but still...she doesn't need added stress....and neither do you...Grrr
