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 ethansmom on October 2, 2013 at 5:20pm: Great picture of your dad Jane :)

ArizonaNavyMom PIR is a great reason to miss the luncheon.

Hopefully we can see you and other new moms at the monthly get togethers at AJ's in Gilbert on Val Vista and Baseline.

Next one is Oct 7th at 630pm.

We try and get together to chat every first Monday of month.

Its free , some get food and soft drinks ..I just do water !

I love the talking about what our kids have been up to with their ships,duties, all life happenings.

Comment by Navy Mom (J) on October 2, 2013 at 9:16am: Aww Jane what a nice tribute to your Dad and those wonderful heroes of the greatest generation! So many have grandsons and granddaughters serving our country and we know that many made that decision because as you said they had these wonderful role models. I am sure your Dad was bursting with pride having his grandson Hayden wear a Sailor's uniform like he did many years ago.

Comment by ArizonaNavyMom on October 1, 2013 at 11:10pm: Hello All-My son PIRs on Oct 18, then off to A School in Goose Creek. We're from Gilbert. I can't attend the lunch on Oct 19, because I'll be at Great Lakes, but I look forward to the next get together.

Comment by HT Mama on October 1, 2013 at 12:29pm: Whoops... should have mentioned that my son left from Phoenix on the 26th.

Comment by HT Mama on October 1, 2013 at 12:04pm: Hi all! I live in FL, but my son left for boot camp on Sept. 26th. I believe one other young man left that same day with him. Hoping to connect with other moms who have recently sent their kids off.

Comment by BADma on September 27, 2013 at 12:18pm: How do we add/change locations on the above description? Maricopa is not mentioned, and there are 3 Navy moms in Maricopa, that are also registered on N4Ms.

Comment by Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on September 27, 2013 at 3:50am: Arizona Navy Moms Lunch October 19th! Chili's on Camelback in Phoenix. Info/RSVP - http://www.navyformoms.com/events/arizona-navy-moms-lunch

Comment by ethansmom on September 25, 2013 at 1:23pm: Thank you Navy Mom for the bday wish..it was great for me to talk to you at Aj's on our Monday get together..words of wisdom are always appreciated.

Looking fwd to next chat on Monday Oct 7th..at AJ's in Gilbert Val Vista Baseline.

Although ive heard from son since seeing you so im generally cheerier ..ha!...his bday is during sea trials starting that week in Oct so i will be depressed again im sure ..as i was counting on him coming home.So that makes 2 bdays missed so far..getting used to all of it ...kinda..still sucks tho.

Anyway..there is also a luncheon get together in PHX organized by a mom that was at AJ's..its on Saturday Oct 19th at Chili's Rest on Camelback at 12pm.

Im sure one of us will retype that info as it gets closer for a reminder..hopefully more moms can come form all over state like last yr .

Thanks again and hope to see more mommies at AJ's and in Phx ..whoohoo!
