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 JJ on September 26, 2014 at 10:41pm: No, it was canceled due to lack of interest. However there is one in Coon Rapids at 4:00 at Applebee's on 129th Avenue NW (off Highway 10 East of Anoka). Guess it was not posted on this site.

Comment by bhindthechair S.4 D.303 PIR 9/21 on September 26, 2014 at 9:35pm: So is there still a get-together in Bloomington tomorrow?

Comment by JJ on September 25, 2014 at 10:34pm: Welcome Firestar3 and lakeida. As I said to caitlynsmom, I hope to see you at the get together in Coon Rapids on Saturday.

Comment by JJ on September 25, 2014 at 12:33pm: Welcome caitlynsmom! I hope that you can attend the get together this weekend in Coon Rapids at Applebee's at 4:00. I am sure that someone will post the details in the DISCUSSION above.

Comment by JJ on September 22, 2014 at 11:54pm: Saltymama...please check your INBOX for a personnal message. Let us know what you decide. It wouldnt be the first time that a get together had to be rescheduled, so don't feel bad.

Comment by carol on September 22, 2014 at 11:45pm: Also, I would be one to be looking on this site to see. This is where we have always put the dates and places because of those not on Facebook.

Comment by carol on September 22, 2014 at 11:43pm: I can't come this Saturday...but if I could, I would be going to the one in Coon Rapids. It's just closer to me. :)

Comment by SaltyMama on September 22, 2014 at 10:20pm: JJ, I'm confused too. I just got back from Coronado so have not checked this page in a while. I do not belong to the Facebook group...only this one and no one has replied that they are coming on Saturday on this site. I don't want to sit there by myself so am thinking of just postponing it. Anyone coming or should I just cancel?

Comment by JJ on September 22, 2014 at 12:00pm: I would think that who ever started the one on Facebook should be checking this site regarding the get togethers. There are some of us that are not on Facebook so we are left out of the loop. Sad for those people. Saltymom was the one that posted the luncheon in Bloomington at the beginning of September, if I am not mistaken.

Comment by JJ on September 22, 2014 at 11:30am: I'm confused....Are there 2 groups meeting on Saturday? One for the Navy for Moms and one for Minnesota Moms of Sailors?
