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 Sue-Pillowcase lady on October 11, 2014 at 11:38am: some notes from the MKI have come in. check them out.

Sunny in so AZ today. We had lots of rain this week and since we've been in a drought for 10 years, it is very welcome! But it is nice to see the sun again.

Happy Saturday to you all! Alex is coming to spend the night with grandma again!

Comment by Sue-Pillowcase lady on October 9, 2014 at 8:37am: this is what we are about:

Cindy S., Linda (AZ), Betty O, and Findlay High School (OH):

I want to personally thank you all for showing love to my husband while he was deployed to Afghanistan. He loved the personal touch each one had to include the hidden thank you button in the inside.

He told me about the pillow cases and then when we had a chance to Skype, he was always hugging a pillow that had one of the home made pillow cases on them. It was so refreshing to see him have a piece of "home" with him. It means a lot to me that people still genuniely care for our deployed Airmen, Soldiers, and Marines. Thank you for your selfless support!!!
