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."

Tuesday, October 30th, 5:00pm

St. Francis de Sales Ministry Center

135 S. Buesching Rd. Lake Zurich, IL 60047

The bake sale will be held Oct. 27th-28th and the kids will shop on the 29th. It will be a last minute determination as to how many boxes we can expect to pack. Please join us at the packing party if you are able. Wish us luck!

Comment by Pat L. in IL on September 30, 2012 at 9:58am: Thetwoj, Thanks go to you!!

Comment by Thetwoj on September 30, 2012 at 9:50am: Pat that is so awesome! I'm so glad we stuck around those few hours past all the other tents. What a great orginization and better, what a great group of supportive women! I was so happy to have been included. Thank you!

Comment by Pat L. in IL on September 30, 2012 at 5:51am: HUGE THANK YOU'S to Lauren, Michelle, Becky, Mary, Laura, Jackie, Linda, Emily, and Sherry for helping out with the "Molly's Adopt A Sailor" table at Cantigny. We had a great time! We received enough donations to ship 22 boxes!

Special thanks to Michelle!! (You know why!)

Comment by Pat L. in IL on September 27, 2012 at 5:27pm: @Michelle, 9AM is good! Thank you and see you Sat.

Comment by Pat L. in IL on September 27, 2012 at 5:21pm: Thetwoj, Great! Can't wait to meet you. Thanks for helping out!

Comment by Thetwoj on September 27, 2012 at 11:12am: Pat, I'm going to be there in the afternoon as well. Looked like you have the morning covered. I have to wait until after the Homecoming Parade. LOL. We'll be there around 1:00 as well.

Comment by Pat L. in IL on September 27, 2012 at 7:34am: @Linda, That sounds great! No fees! You do not need to stop at the volunteer tent. The Molly's tent is going to be at the end of the line of tents near the Vietnam traveling wall (or at least that is the plan right now)LOL

Comment by Pat L. in IL on September 24, 2012 at 7:14am: @Linda, At this point, I would say mid-afternooon. BUT I would say when the Moms see how fabulous this event is going to be, they end up staying longer than they intended!!
