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 Miss Suzanne on October 3, 2011 at 5:52pm: Briansmom - congratulations on your Sailors PIR! it's such a beautiful ceremony, and very exciting! Don't forget your tissues! lol!

Comment by Miss Suzanne on October 3, 2011 at 5:50pm: Gay - how old is your Sailor, may I ask? 3 years, wow! And here I'm trying to deal with 3 months! lol!
Even tho Michael is a MAA (or in A School for it!) he's thinking of doing the 4 years, then either becoming a Navy Chaplin, or a Priest. In the meantime, he'll more than likely be posted on a rather dangerous base in the Middle East, so I'm thankful he has such a close relationship with God! (I'm hoping that will keep him safe!) *whew*!! 

Comment by Briansmom on October 3, 2011 at 12:15pm: I won't be there either. PIR!!! I can't believe it's finally here! I will miss being with you guys though. You've been a huge support in the short time I've been involved. This is an awesome, kind, welcoming, group and I feel blessed to be a part of it. Thanks to all of you.

Comment by phoebe stg2 on October 3, 2011 at 8:39am: Miss Suzanne, Glad you found us. Hope you can connect with others in Arvada so you can join us for our coffee time and packing parties.

Our next coffee is on October 15th. We meet in different areas around the west side of the Metro area. Have not come up with a location yet for the 15th. If anyone has a suggestion please let me know. I think Chris said she would not be able to attend in October.

Comment by Miss Suzanne on October 3, 2011 at 12:18am: Hello my fellow Colorado Moms!
You gotta love this webpage, that Navy Moms from all over the world can find each other!
I'm a single mom, and my Sailor, Michael, is in San Antonio for MAA A-School. He's just starting, and he's very excited. I'm very happy, very proud, but I miss my best friend, ya know? 
I'd love to get to know those of you who live close enough to me. I'm in Arvada, at 80th & N. Wadsworth - anyone within spitting distance of me?

Comment by KathyMmom on October 2, 2011 at 10:33pm: pqrlisa - maybe we could have a multi day, multi location packing party for them! I would help in that effort for sure! :-)

Comment by pgrlisa on October 2, 2011 at 7:42pm: Chris - please remind me who we packed for yesterday. My daughter is curious. I told her we probably can't ever adopt her ship because it's too big. Over 1,000 Sailors and about 1500 Marines when they are underway. But we love them anyway!

Thanks,

Lisa

Comment by Briansmom on September 30, 2011 at 10:56am: I'm so glad I looked up the address on the map! I thought we were going to the other recruiting office on Wadsworth & Bowles in Littleton. I went to the wrong Starbucks last time and I almost did it again!

Comment by Sharon ~Damiens Mom~ 9/329 on September 30, 2011 at 10:42am: Wish I could make it for the packing party! Unfortunately I don't get off the mountain much LOL. But I will see alot of you 10/7 can't wait!!!!!!!!!

Comment by NavyMom4J on September 30, 2011 at 9:10am: Hi - just joined this group- sorry I can't make the packing party but i will be checking in with this group to stay tuned for the next one.
