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."

Thank you! I'll put you down!

The USS Arlington is a Norfolk based ship...just saying!

Ohhhhh! Road trip!
The New Nexico ladies are sending the balance of pillowcases! Our mission at WSL is completed! Now let's focus on getting these sailors their wish list and lots and lots of cards and letters!

WooHoo New Mexico!!!!

The CT Navy Moms have been doing a great job getting goodies for the USS Arlington.  I picked up 10 cases of girl scout cookies. 

My first shipment has been sent. Total of 4 boxes. 2. Boxes were Girl Scout cookies, 1 was just pillowcases and another with rice crispie treats, gum, chap stick and peanuts and sunflower seeds. Ready for March!

Thank you so very much!! New adoption announced March 1!

The Ct navy moms sent out 36 boxes paid by Molly’s and another 10 boxes paid by CT Families.  We had a girl scout troop show up at the packing party with hundreds of cards and letters and donations from then and a boys scout troop.

If anyone gets a note from someone from the ship I’d love to share it with them.

Thank you
