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 LainerD on April 12, 2012 at 4:33pm: Hi Ladies. Is the location on April 21st Fireside Books and Coffee? I haven't been to one of these before, but I see that's where you've met in the past.

Comment by Blink on April 12, 2012 at 11:58am: Hi twilk21. I would love that! Let me know when it would work for you. My schedule is pretty flexible.

Comment by Blink on April 10, 2012 at 7:13pm: Hi, I am new here. I am in southeast Aurora (near Southlands Mall). I can't meet on April 21, but would love to connect with others in this area. My son is in 6th week at OCS, Class 11-12 and will be a sub nuke.

Comment by phoebe stg2 on April 6, 2012 at 4:39pm: ryansmom, Join us for coffee on the 21st. See details as they are made at the top of this page under discussion forum...

Comment by ryansmom on April 6, 2012 at 3:53pm: Hi Everyone, I just found this site and am really excited to chat with other moms from colorado. My son just left for Great Lakes on March 20th, PIR May 18th. As you know its been a roller coster ride so far... the box, the form letter, and finally a quick note saying he's ok. Im in the Highlands Ranch area. Love the pictures you all have posted!

Comment by LainerD on March 21, 2012 at 10:13pm: Hi Audra. The Longmont mom your looking for is me! So glad to know there's another mom nearby -- I'll send you a message on your Navy Mom page; I hope we can get together soon.

Comment by yahoolady51 on March 18, 2012 at 10:16pm: Ladies,

Would love to get together and meet everyone. I work until 4:30 M-F and have a class on Thursday evenings. Other than that can work around schedule to meet.

Thank you all.

Comment by Caryn321 on March 18, 2012 at 3:50pm: KathyMmon and yahoolady - would love to meet you both (and anyone else in the area) I work 3 nights a week and schedule varies but sure we could work something out.

Comment by KathyMmom on March 18, 2012 at 2:38pm: yahoolady and Caryn - I'm also in the HR area - and while I'm pretty busy during the week, open to meeting with your ladies if you want too.

Comment by KathyMmom on March 18, 2012 at 2:35pm: I am SO sorry to have missed the coffee yesterday. My only consolation was enjoying the beauty of our state as we drove to Lake City, CO and back again. Cathy - putting April 21st on the calendar - unless I can find a way to Groton for my Sailors birthday that weekend!
