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 Diane1954 on October 10, 2011 at 2:55pm: I would be interested - when are you thinking about it?

Comment by Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on August 2, 2011 at 12:29am: Ashley, I don't think so. We're having a get together this Sunday; if I hear of any I'll let you know :)

Comment by Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on July 31, 2011 at 7:58pm: THE PARTY INVITATION IS HERE!!

Click on this link to view the invitation ~

Party invitation and RSVP

When you click to RSVP "yes" and click "confirm, you'll be taken to the next page with several tabs up top including "Potluck." Go there to see what others are bringing and to add what you're bringing, if anything. Also add if you're bringing guests so we can get an estimate of how many are coming.

I emailed invitations out today to those whose email addresses I have, too. So be sure to RSVP!! I can't wait for next Sunday, it's going to be a great event!!

By the way, here's more information about Admiral Sanders:

As Commander of Combined Task Force 151, Admiral Sanders commanded 4,440 sailors on 19 ships from seven nations in a coalition counter-piracy force operating off the coast of Somalia. He served in this at-sea command tour until January 2010 and currently serves as Deputy Commander, U.S. 2nd Fleet.

Comment by Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on July 14, 2011 at 12:37am: Wow that was so much fun! (Not pictured-Diane/ThanksMom, who left early.) We took a tour of the Fine Gun Room where the August 7th party to meet the admiral will take place. Barb, we're hoping for 40 or so to attend. We've got four round tables that seat 10, with black tablecloths; and side tables for setting out our dishes, desserts and drinks (the restaurant is providing the ice). If everyone attending will email me a photo of your sailor and his/her rate(job) I'll put together nametags for us. It's shaping up to be a great event!

Comment by Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on July 13, 2011 at 3:27pm: Thanks Leah! How to make a pinwheel and add whatever's on hand - ribbons, etc :)

Comment by LeahScottsdale on July 13, 2011 at 2:26pm: VERY cute decorations Marcy! You know you are going to have to post the directions on how to make those pinwheels!!

Comment by Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on July 13, 2011 at 1:42pm: AZ Navy Moms Meet and Greet TONIGHT!
Islamorada Fish Company restaurant in the Bass Pro Shop in Mesa, 6 - 9 pm.

We will also talk about the AZ Navy Moms potluck PARTY on August 7th with the admiral and take a look at the Fine Gun Room where it will take place.
Look forward to seeing everyone! Just look for the red white and blue on the table :)

Comment by Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on July 13, 2011 at 12:19pm: Hi Diane! Anyone can plan a meet & greet. This one is twofold, to get together and to let others see the venue for the August party to meet the admiral. The location (one exit east of where the 101 and north/Red Mountain 202 intersect) is pretty easy to get to. Midweek worked this time for the moms who have already RSVP'd for the August event. I hope you can come to the potluck party on August 7th. It's on a Sunday because that's the only day the admiral had available (he's only in Phoenix two days). The details are above in the Discussion area.
