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."

We Still Need Moms for the NYC Parade Event!
Okay… we have about 10ish moms joining us (which we are super excited about)… But we are really hoping for more! For the moms that are coming… can you bring anyone… family, friends- over 18 years old? (As long as they don’t mind wearing a Navy For Mom’s tees-shirt!)
So let me know if you can bring another person to join us for the day!
For those thinking about it… please let me know ASAP… we would really love to know either way!
And really, it’s not too late to say- Hey, Cath, I just read this for the first time and I'm thinking about attending. The sooner we know the better. October 1st would be best for knowing. But you can always e-mail me (navyformoms@gmail.com) or PM me if you are unsure and need another day or so to figure things out with work and what not.
Thank you- and hope to be talking to you soon! – CC

Any idea where the Navy for moms float will be located on the parade line?
