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."

Here is the Heads at Ease mailing label: When we mail pillowcases to our "own" groups (not one of Molly's adopted groups), use this label only on the package. If the pillowcases are going to one of Molly's adopted groups, use both labels. Both…Continue

Comment by Jodi-alumni Ship 4 on November 11, 2015 at 11:59am: Good for you Sue. To often kids look up to the wrong people and it is sad.

Comment by Sue-Pillowcase lady on November 11, 2015 at 11:20am: Here is my Veteran manning the rails out of Pearl Harbor in Oct 2008. It was right after Tiger Cruise that I heard about N4M and joined. I am very proud of my son who served 5 years in the Navy.

Comment by Sue-Pillowcase lady on November 11, 2015 at 11:16am: Happy Veterans Day to all who have served this great country The United States of America.

You are all eagles in my opinion, which is such a magnificent bird and why we have it as our national bird.
At school this week, I have been having the kids make "American Hero" cards which will go to veterans. I told them that our American Heroes are our military, not celebrities or sports figures.

Comment by Sue-Pillowcase lady on November 6, 2015 at 7:12pm: I do not know where the time goes! I posted some more thank you notes today.

Comment by Sue-Pillowcase lady on October 23, 2015 at 11:52pm: new numbers posted. I am catching up on some notes tonight.

Comment by Sue-Pillowcase lady on October 9, 2015 at 8:40am: mailing wave 3 to the Anchorage now.

Comment by Sue-Pillowcase lady on October 4, 2015 at 11:00am: I'm behind on thank you notes. But am going to start to catch up so check out the Essex etc.

Comment by Sue-Pillowcase lady on October 3, 2015 at 9:03pm: Oh, it has been awhile since I was last on here. I went to Milwaukee for my dad's service and when I got home I hit the ground running. Today I am finally getting to slow down and catch up a bit.

Military honors were done for my dad as he was a Navy vet. I tried to film it but I got a blank. My sister did and I have posted it on FB on my page. When she emails it to me, I can post. What a moving site that is!

I read Carol's poem at the service after I talked about my dad abit.

I posted new numbers as wave 2 for the Anchorage is done.

Comment by Sue-Pillowcase lady on September 16, 2015 at 8:28am: new numbers and Carol is a HAE crew member

By Carol Coddington

9/12/15

For Sue, in memory of her dad

On the anniversary of 911

A sailor died and went to heaven.

God said to him, welcome to my ship up here,

Welcome home, oh sailor so dear.

Please know that I have been waiting for you,

And there is a job I have for you to do.

Send back a sign to those you love,

Let them know you are fine here up above.

No problems, no worries, no troubles or pain,

Just the love of the Lord is what you still gain.

Let them know that the ship you are on

Is led by the Father, and steered by the Son.

Let it be known that you have thrown your final anchor overboard,

And have finally come home to sail with the Lord.
