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."

I do know our OCT group is not "That" large....And the Holiday group is larger and we might have to "sort" some of the donations-since Oct group won't need some of the stuff but Dec will NEED THE STUFF! ♥

Comment by diane {Shawns mom} on October 2, 2010 at 12:20pm: The mtg place will be for the Holiday party...We can just go ahead and use Einsteins for the Oct. Party!!

Comment by LindaA AM Mom on September 30, 2010 at 9:25am: Yeah-yah! The 16th it is then! Put it on your calendars and bring your boxes from the Legends show. I have enough for 10 boxes, too.

Check out this package from Care Packages For Our Troops (Marine Mom's) Group! Love it!!!

Comment by diane {Shawns mom} on September 29, 2010 at 3:05pm: Can I ask??? who who!!! Great job!!!!
Great deal with the apples...cause alot of places ship to APO/fpo addys but cost a fortune!

Comment by LindaA AM Mom on September 29, 2010 at 9:46am: Yes, to the shipping! Also to verify -- the apples aren't free - just the shipping. Also found the site for Cell Phones for Soldiers and info to send phones in... :))

Comment by diane {Shawns mom} on September 29, 2010 at 9:42am: WOW awesome Linda!!!! Good deal..will check out that site!!! -Really you found someone to pay for all the shipping, kudos!!!

Comment by LindaA AM Mom on September 29, 2010 at 9:25am: Hey, Good morning! I have enough for about 10 boxes (from the show) and I am willing to do a packing party in October --16th or 23rd is good for me -- Also, I have someone willing to pay for the shipping :)) we just have to pack it!!!

I love the idea of fall items Joelle --

Also, I love Honeycrisp Apples and I found a site that ships them for free to APO in their effort to support the military dubbed "OPERATION APPLE" -the site is http://www.honeycrisp.com/ AND while up in MI I saw a Commercial for a Chevy dealership collecting Cell Phones for Solgiers where they collect unwanted cells phones and turn them into calling cards for them -- do we know of such an organization here where I can drop off a few unused phones? Calling cards home would be a real nice "stocking stuffer", too.

Comment by diane {Shawns mom} on September 28, 2010 at 7:10pm: Love your idea Joelle...
Hey just got an email on my adopt a sailor account from a women interesting in supporting the troops. One of the first things I ask someone who contacts me is -Where do you live? Maybe we can hook you up with some moms/members in the area-
Well yeapper, she lives in central florida...unbelievable HUH....cool...
so I am hoping that she will attend our next packing party! YAH ♥

Comment by diane {Shawns mom} on September 28, 2010 at 6:11pm: we can work on a packing party..Just don't like to stress the moms out $$ wise...chime in and let us know what you think..we could put a few boxes together. I do have some stuff that was collected -I believe its enough for about 2-3 boxes....Just chime in and let us know what you think about it!
