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 Sue-Pillowcase lady on January 26, 2010 at 2:11pm: I heard there will 22 ships total and the chaplain on the Vinson is coordinating the letters so all ships get some. We need lots! Please pass the word to your other groups.
We navy moms need to take care of our sailors.

Comment by dooby1424 on January 26, 2010 at 10:07am: I read in the Navy News that the USS Fort McHenry was also there. There might be othere ships too.

Comment by Sue-Pillowcase lady on January 25, 2010 at 10:56pm: Would you be willing to write these letters? Susan said that 22 ships will be going to Haiti and we are trying to get letters in the hand of each sailor. You can go to the MAS room for the address or contact me.
Thanks and please pass the word! Sue
CALLING ALL MOMS! Here is a chance to let ‘our’ sailors know how much we love and support them! If there is one thing every Navy mom learns during boot camp it is to write a great letter! And you Molly moms practice it each and every month sending love to our deployed!

Will you please write a letter or thank you card to a Sailor aboard the USS Carl Vinson which is conducting humanitarian and disaster relief operations? Our goal is to send over 5,000 thank you cards to Chaplain ‘Fish’ by February 10th! He will distribute the cards and letters we send to the crew on the Vinson and the other Navy ships (the USS Bataan, USS Nassau and USS Comfort headed to provide support to Haiti!

Contact your local schools, scout groups and churches! Collect as many thank you notes and cards and send them along! The best (and most cost effective) way to send them might be a flat rate box offered by the Post Office! Let these sailors know that you are proud of them and say thank you for all they are doing!

For the address of Chaplain ‘Fish’ please contact me with how many cards you have gathered and I will be happy to provide the address! Thank you so much!

When the USS Carl Vinson pulled out of Norfolk January 12th on the way to their new homeport of San Diego they were singing ‘California Dreaming’. That night a devastating 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck Haiti and their destination changed. The Vinson was one of the first ships able to respond. We have all watched the news and seen the pictures. But can you imagine what it is to be at sea for the first time and called to duty in such an important mission? To feel the 95+ degree heat, experience the cry for help and pain, see the devastation up close?

Many of our sailors are boots on the ground and many more are providing support for them. Those sights and sounds will stay with them forever. The United States Navy has prepared them to do their jobs, and let's face it; we know they are the best of the best.

These sailors are pumping over 3,500 gallons of water a day to deliver to quake victims, launching well over 600 flights of aid and rescue from their deck, providing security and caring for many injured. They have given of themselves… working long hours, catching sleep when they can. Here is our chance to let them know how much we appreciate all they are doing

Comment by Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on January 18, 2010 at 1:20am: Thanks Carolyn - that's great to know!

Comment by dooby1424 on January 8, 2010 at 8:56am: Good Morning....Just a reminder, don't forget to bring items for the "Molly's Adopt a Sailor" boxes that we will be packing after our lunch tomorrow. (For those who can be there - we will be going to a park after lunch to box the items. I will have maps at the lunch.) See you all tomorrow!! Go Navy!

Comment by Diane1954 on January 7, 2010 at 9:04pm: Sherry: Give him a hug for all of us. Wish I could see mine that soon

Comment by Diane1954 on January 7, 2010 at 6:46pm: My husband & I are really looking forward to the get together. It will be our first one, but hopefully not the last. I want to put faces with the names.

Comment by Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on December 28, 2009 at 1:00pm: That is so sweet! (love the missing teeth, too) They look like they're full of personality, & all adorable. I'm sure your son loved it!

Comment by Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on December 23, 2009 at 3:48am: Hi Kim, the group is called "Phoenix and Surrounding Cities in Arizona." Merry Christmas to you too!
