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."

Thanks for hosting that hugely successful party! You did a fabulous job!!! So great to finally meet you!

I'm hoping some of the CT moms can get together and meet up at a centrally located restaurant. what do you think? If everyone is too busy, then we will def. get together at my house for a packing party, soon!

Comment by Donna on November 5, 2013 at 8:52am: To SeanMom, and Prayforthe sailors

Thank you for! It was very successful because of you and all the Navy Moms and volunteers that where so willing to not only donate items but the time to pack up the boxes! And that was a huge job!!!!

My only regret is that I wasn't able to really spend time with any of my new Navy Mom Friends! :(

Would you both email me at donnabreunig@yahoo and send me your phone numbers. I may have them but I'd have to hunt them down!

Thank you again for everything!!!!!

Comment by CTMom on October 28, 2013 at 9:37pm: Hi Everyone! Please check out the new FB page Connecticut Navy Moms. :)

Comment by Proud Navy/NYPD Mom (Donna) on October 26, 2013 at 9:12pm: Sounds like lots of exciting things happening here. A mom from RI and I are going to try to make it. Not 100% certain yet since my son is supposed to come from NY to help me with cleaning and going through my husband's things. It is such a big job and I can only handle doing it for so long so it will be nice to get some help. But if he doesn't make it, I am hoping to get to meet you all!

You've got a great Mom of the Month spearheading everything. Enjoy your party and have lots of fun. It is going to be AMAZING!

And, please someone take lots of pics to share both here on the CT page and on the Molly's page too. I love it when we can show the country what the little New England states are able to pull off. We may be small but we are mighty!! lol
