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."

Colleen, your June is going to be very special. Be sure to tell us all about it when you get back. Hope you and Ruth VH are both able to come on the 23rd. Tysmom, the flowers are beautiful and a thoughtful greeting. I love flowers anytime! I heard from all 3 kids this weekend and got to spend time with two. Scott's family Skyped from Maine and I got to see his little 3 1/2 month old daughter squirming on her mama's lap and to talk to the 6 year old. Lanie and the kids are coming for a visit in June. Can't wait to get my hands on that baby.

Happy Mothers' Day everyone!  Lorraine, I will check about the 23rd.  I might have something going on that day.  Won't know for a few days.  Ruth, I'd be a little irked too.  tysmom - the flowers are lovely.  Marianne, glad you got to spend time with your daughter.  Kim, prayers for you during your treatments.  We're going to DC in June to see our Sailor walk to get his diploma - in uniform.  So proud.  We haven't seen him in around 19 months.  Daughter is coming too and we haven't seen her in a year.  Where's the tissues?!  Sorry I've been missing.  I'll try to get on more often.
