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 July 23, 2012 at 10:52am: Hiya..first thanks very much to Jane and Denise...had a fabulous time meeting new people and with people I talk to online.The restaurant was nice atmosphere and great food.

Taking pictures and getting a pen was added treat!..loved the Blue Star Moms and the info they shared.

meeting kris aka khl17,nancy09xxpir7/13,and janis aka always a mom was cool for me since i chat already with them.

meeting the experienced moms was fab and having thanksmom bring a Keel book was special too.

i missed Debbie(kevins mom) there as i asked like 2 tall blonds are you debbie/..and am sorry to read about your husbands sickness..my prayers are with you.

ALL the moms were so sweet ..it is nice to be around women without competing and fact we all had atleast one thing in common was bonus.

so i think ive used all the adjectives this ol crying brain can think of..I pray my sons cold/flu thingy gets better and and thankful i have my baby granddaughter to watch 2 days week or else id be worse..it is emails from groups like these that keep me going daily. and God knows i need them and I like others hope we have more actual meetings in near future.

Really sorry I missed it....a good friend's spouse passed away unexpectedly, and I felt it was important to spend time with her this weekend.
Hope we have these get-to-gethers more often.
You are right Jane...AZ Navy Moms ROCK!
