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 Maryellen on September 18, 2014 at 11:32pm: Well Dani is back in Italy, she is still go a little pain from the healing which is normal. She is doing good just trying to catch up on things and rest. She has to check in with Dental in the morning then back to light limited duty. Thank You all for your prayers and concerns. Thank you for sending cards and boxes, I know she will love them all.

Comment by Sue-Pillowcase lady on September 17, 2014 at 11:39pm: Well, today I had my face painted in green scales to look like a snake. I was brainstorming with the kid in the afternoon for our fall festival and the girl in charge of face painting wondered how that would look.

I volunteered to the model. turned out great. Ray took a photo and I'll post tomorrow.

Ha, I love it!

Comment by Maryellen on September 16, 2014 at 10:57pm: UBU's mom thank you, I know she will enjoy it.

I couldn't either but I am glad they didn't. I think Dani misunderstood them but that's ok its all over, shes fine and I can sleep. AAAAH sleep, such a missed thing in life. hahahah

Comment by UBU'sMom on September 16, 2014 at 10:40pm: That is great news! Her box is on its way!

Comment by Sue-Pillowcase lady on September 16, 2014 at 10:37pm: oh good Maryellen, her surgery wasn't as bad as you thought! I can imagine removing a tooth and replacing it and that it would be fine!

Comment by Jodi-alumni Ship 4 on September 16, 2014 at 1:21pm: Wonderful news Maryellen.

Comment by mrsb on September 16, 2014 at 10:43am: That's really good news Maryellen!!

Comment by Maryellen on September 16, 2014 at 10:39am: Well I just spoke to Dani this morning. They are keeping her in Spain till Thursday. She has some swelling and they did not want her to go back till it went down. They did not have to remove the tooth, they went in at the gum line and got the cyst and everything else done. She got her stitches out this morning and the first thing she went and got was Ice Cream. She still has a little pain but the doctor said that should go away in time. They put her on some antibiotics as a precaution and they said all looks good. She ask me to tell everyone Thank you for the prayers. She is in great spirits and is missing Italy.

Thank you all for your prayers, It has been a rough time the past 5 months with all this.

Comment by Sue-Pillowcase lady on September 10, 2014 at 10:32pm: Praise the Lord for her persistent CO! I'm glad that it's over.

8 stitches is better than 20.

Comment by Jodi-alumni Ship 4 on September 10, 2014 at 1:14pm: Maryellen, good for her to have someone like that in her corner. She must be a very special young lady for him to go to such lengths to make sure she gets the best treatment. I pray she will recover quickly and completely.
