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."

If you have regular Navy For Moms meetings in Omaha, would you like to have Sailors attend one of the meetings if it is during Omaha Navy Week? I am one of the Omaha Navy Week coordinators and would happily discuss some of the options: pamela.bou@navyweek.org

I'm wanting to bring my 3 year old stepson to the New Orleans Navy Week to show him what "Daddy does". Is there going to be anything there geared toward young children or should I wait until he gets older? Thank you!

At the one in St Louis, they had a diving tank for the kids to play with the diver on the other side of the glass wall. Also, we had ours at Scott Air Force Base for part of it, and they had lots of planes we could walk through. We were fortunate to have the Blue Angels--which could be loud for a 3 year old, but it was on a limited time base. So hope you have some of the same activities.

Chicago Navy Week will be Jun 25- 4 July. There will be events in the city and suburbs, including the Navy Band will be playing at sporting events and marching in parades. We are still confirming details, but the Leap Frogs are also scheduled to jump at some of the events. Also, we are trying to have Sailors from USS Chicago (SSN 721) at the Museum of Science and Industry submarine display! (PB)http://www.navyweek.org/chicago2011/

Detroit Navy Week is July 18-24, with the Thunder Over Michigan Air Show July 23-24 featuring the Blue Angels.
The Navy Band will perform at different events and Sailors from USS George Washington, an air craft carrier forward deployed to Japan, are coming to participate in some of the events.
In general, Navy Weeks are designed to bring Sailors to an area that doesn't have a large Navy presence so that people can talk to the Sailors and better understand life in the Navy and the Navy's mission.
