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."

Please note! Changes to this guide happened in October 2017. There are now tickets issued, and there are no longer parking passes for PIR.

How to Discipline "Properly"

Most of the American populace thinks it improper

to spank children, so I have tried other methods

to control my kids when they have one of 'those

moments’



One that I found effective is for me to just take

the child for a car ride and talk.



Some say it's the vibration from the car, others say

it's the time away from any distractions such as TV,

Video Games, Computer, IPod, etc.



Either way, my kids usually calm down and… Continue

My Sailors

I got a call from my buddy Troy, they're finally back in port. He's going to take two weeks leave over Thanksgiving, so we'll get the chance to visit. He's an ET, directly inspired by hubby and myself ... since we were both ETs. He's even on hubby's old ship! He's a great guy, loves the Navy and plans on twenty years at least.



And the very same day Troy called, I got a letter from my nephew in bootcamp. He's learned some new knots, which is an in joke about camping for us. Poor kid… Continue

Military Life

Ok, friends. This Blog is not meant to hurt anyone feelings or make anyone feel not worthy. God loves us all the same. But I thought it might enlighten those of you that don't come from a military background. This is what your son, your daughter, your husband or your wife will experience. The greatest life of all. Enjoy!



When a Military Veteran leaves the 'job' and retires to a better life, many are jealous, some are pleased, and others, who may have already retired, wonder if the… Continue

IM GETTING MARRIED!!!! WHOOOOO!!!!

Blake agreed with me that it was best to do our ceremony before he leaves. I'm so excited i can hardly stand it!! I'm so excited that we only get two days as husband and wife but it makes seeing him after basic anticapated more! lol. Both of us decided, before we met, to wait until we were married to have sex. So it makes our day even more special. But it has really taken him leaving off my mind. Before we thought of this it was all I thought about. Because I was panicking because we weren't… Continue

PIR experience

WOW!! What a beautiful thing to behold! You can read posts and watch video after video but you have to EXPERIENCE to understand just how fabulous it is.

After driving 13 hours to Chicago we were needless to say exhausted. We had reservations at the Navy Lodge and just on a hunch inquired see when we could check in ( it was about 0730) they were nice enough to find us a room so we could rest awhile. We then rode around and explored the area. We must have drove past the front gate like 20… Continue

My Sailor got cammies

[ Draft ]I received a message that I have new picture mail today on my cell phone. The subject was cammies. When I looked at the picture on my phone, I was so exited that Chris sent me a picture.

Yaaaaaaaaayyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then I called him and he was pretty exited that he got his cammies, so exited that… Continue

Honor Flight

Several of you have asked how to get involved with Honor Flight, the program that makes it possible for WW II veterans to see THEIR memorial in Washington, DC, for free. It's a one day trip, flying out early in the morning and coming back that night. My husband and I will be "guardians" on the first flight out of Moline next Saturday. I am so fortunate to have my 86 year old dad going. You can be a guardian, too! Go to the national website and find a hub near you. If there isn't one, sign up… Continue

N4Ms Is All Over The Place

I was minding my own business this evening sitting around thinking about the next box I was going to send off to my sailor and the phone rang. It was him. He said "hey, I say the NavyforMoms.com commercial three times". He asked a few questions (well I probably offered the information since he brought the subject up). I gave him some more background information about the site. We chatted about a few more things and then, just as I hung up with him ~ voila ~ the commercial came on my TV. It was… Continue
