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 June 5, 2013 at 5:43pm: Navy Mom..meeting with your kids trumps any lunch! ...nancy and jane will be out of town for tempe , at this point we have only 10 going max.

Comment by ethansmom on June 5, 2013 at 5:39pm: hiya..i was at aj's on monday..first time ive been able to make it since i babysit granddaughter on mondays..anyway..i arrived at 620ish and stayed till 640ish when i found out via FB msg that Jane wasnt coming.I walked inside and out looking around like a crazy woman for group of girls . I only know nancy and jane by site. I was wearing bright pink shirt and shorts in case someone saw me !

anyway..its supposedly the first monday of month at 630pm.nothings changed.

i hope to make it in july aj's...maybe we should say on here who is coming so we know...

and hopefully some of you can come to tempe macayos location on june 22nd at 12pm..not fancy like last years seasons52 in phx..just old fashioned dutch lunch and chat.

Comment by AZMom on June 5, 2013 at 4:29pm: Hi Navy Mom,

Missed you on Monday. I hope it didn't change to Tuesday because I was there Monday waiting for 30 minutes just in case anyone showed up. Unfortunately no one was there. Hopefully next time. Hope you are having a great visit with your son and his girlfriend. Talk to you soon.

Comment by ethansmom on June 4, 2013 at 4:51pm: Hi all..havent posted in awhile..after PIR Ethan came home for 10 days then went to San Diego then after few days there went on deployment.His 21st bday he landed in Bahrain!..and just got back in Feb...it was horrible for me when he was gone esp missing his bday and holidays for first time.He came home in Feb for few days and hopefully again in next month or so.But he is so happy in SDiego and learning so it makes me happy.

ANYWAY-- A navy mom i met online in a Navy mom Facebook group is having a get together in Tempe on Sat June 22nd at the Macayos in Tempe on Ash Ave cross street 3rd St.. at 12pm..

we are looking for mommies to attend.we only have 4-5 so far.hopefully some of you ladies can join us.

I went to the AJ's on Val Vista last night for first time but sadly Jane and my other navy mom friend Nancy couldnt be there..so I left since i looked funny by myself looking around ;].ha!...anyway i babysit my granddaughter on Mondays so its hard for me to attend ..hopefully i can in July.

please try and make it to Tempe..even though its been almost a year since he left for bootcamp I still miss him very much and need to talk to moms with experience and although i can talk online..i prefer in person :)

thanks and hope to see to you soon..

and maybe another seasons52 or similar in July or so ..anybody want to coordinate that... i would attend :)
