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."

We got our name 1 year ago today. And it all started over moldly peach muffins. I guess it's time to post that story.

If you sew, we can use the help. If you don't, we can still use the help. Check us out.

Comment by Sue-Pillowcase lady on December 23, 2009 at 8:21pm: Marianne, I am doing well, just too busy. but I guess that is true for everyone.
HAE has topped the 2000 mark this year with pillowcases! So you know where my energies have gone. hah

Comment by Sue-Pillowcase lady on December 18, 2009 at 10:02am: sure is.

Comment by Sue-Pillowcase lady on December 18, 2009 at 9:49am: love the recipe Maryellen,.

Comment by Sue-Pillowcase lady on October 29, 2009 at 12:15am: you are very kind.

Comment by Sue-Pillowcase lady on October 27, 2009 at 11:20pm: you did great!

Comment by Sue-Pillowcase lady on October 25, 2009 at 11:09pm: Marianne!!!! Awesome, your report is just awesome! I am glad that my advice helped and if I get to go again, I will travel lighter. I was really only cold the last night for some reason.
I hear you about that hair. once you are on a flight deck, who cares?
so happy you had a great time! how about your dad? did he stay in your son's cube?
did you take pictures and where can I see them?

Comment by Sue-Pillowcase lady on October 15, 2009 at 12:13am: well, she wasn't kidding when she said she was down to the wire. I bet you did have fun!

Comment by Sue-Pillowcase lady on October 13, 2009 at 11:48pm: Marianne, I just got goosebumps for you! It's hard to believe that ours was just a year ago. Travel as light as you can. Don't forget your locks-bring 2. YOu will not need alot of money on the ship. take a camera. make sure your enclosed shoes are comfortable for walking and standing. take sweatpants for sleeping.
give your sailor a hug for me and HAVE FUN!
we sailed on Friday morning from Pearl Harbor pm 10-3 and got to San Diego about 10 am on Wed 10-8.

I took my carrier to school (I work in an after school care program) on the day my son flew into town for a visit. The kids, boys especially, really loved it. My son came that afternoon to help us make carriers out of recycled junk. It's about 3 feet long. I love it.
