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."

Comment by CTmomof3 on July 15, 2015 at 8:21am: Thanks so so much for the info. No I didn't see the Nash Trash Tour. I'll look into it. I tried the Music City Rollin and the Walkin Nashville.

Comment by Up&Down on July 14, 2015 at 10:02pm: CT thank you for the info. My friend request is pending.

When in Nashville, of course you need to be on Broadway St and visit the Honkey Tonks. I wasn't aware that tours don't operate on Sunday or Monday. Did you try Nash Trash Tours?

The Gulch area is neat. There's a great shop called Two Old HIppies to visit. Sambuca's restaurant in the Gulch is also good.

Acme Feed & Seed (bar & restaurant) on Broadway St is fun,too.

Comment by CTmomof3 on July 12, 2015 at 12:13pm: or friend her on the Ombudsman page

Comment by CTmomof3 on July 12, 2015 at 12:11pm: Join the FB FRG page for the Anchorage

https://www.facebook.com/groups/ussanchoragefrg/

The ombudsman posts on there and you can get hold of Tiffany Reynoso . you can also private mess if needed. This is a closed group so do to security they will ask you your association with the Anchorage...no big deal.

Most post are for activities etc that go on in San Diego however you can post or ask anything..well within reason..lol

I'll only be in Nashville for a day as I'm on my way to TX. What's some highlights I should try to fit in? A couple tours I read that had good reviews don't operate on Sun or Mon..bummer.

Comment by Up&Down on July 11, 2015 at 8:57pm: CTmomof3....oh you are going to have a blast in Nashville but it has been so hot here!!!! The humidity is so uncomfortable.

There's been lots of pictures this past week with the Anchorage. I guess they were in a blackout the other two weeks. We did hear from our son and he says that they've been busy.

I really need info to contact the ombudsman for the Anchorage. I am getting no newsletters and feel so out of touch. Can you or anyone else help me????? please

Comment by CTmomof3 on July 10, 2015 at 6:59am: Up&Down. I see you're from Nashville area. I'll be heading your way next weekend on the way to TX. Did all the Anchorage moms see the FB pictures the ship posted yesterday?

Comment by Up&Down on June 9, 2015 at 10:06pm: Anchorage moms, I'm not included yet with getting information from our ship's ombudsman. Is there any important news I should know? If so, please send me a private message. Thanks.

Comment by Up&Down on June 9, 2015 at 10:03pm: Nashville, Tennessee area!

Comment by Vickie360 on June 9, 2015 at 3:21pm: Lubbock tx

Comment by Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on June 8, 2015 at 3:18pm: Have you joined a group for your area? We have a statewide group where we post upcoming plans. Here in Phoenix we have an informal evening meetup for coffee the first Monday of every month at a grocery store coffee bar; and lunch get-togethers about every three months or so on a Saturday and usually get about 10 - 20 moms and we always try to get a group pic to post. You just have to sort of plunge in and set something up! :) It builds if you're consistent, and ven if you only meet one other mom at first, it's a good thing.
