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 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 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.

Comment by HisMom on June 8, 2015 at 2:36pm: I wish I could find some moms close by to meet up and maybe do some constructive walking (lol) walk and talk takes your mind off your woes, and the wrinkles outta yer butt.

Comment by HisMom on June 8, 2015 at 2:33pm: I have not heard from my son this week. He is well though. His girlfriend is on the Essex and I was sweatin it a bit but she is fine as well.

I am from Gettysburg PA where are you all from

Comment by Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on June 7, 2015 at 12:44pm: Happy Saturday, Gator Moms! Hopefully everyone gets to attend a homecoming :) Here's a great article about homecoming traditions, and an infographic too: "Return to Homeport: U.S.Navy Homecoming Traditions"
