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."

Quad-Cities Meet and Greet

Having gone from the lone Navy mom (at least it felt that way!) for almost 7 years in this area, I've gathered a growing group of moms, wives, girlfriends, sisters, and other Navy family like dads.  We're meeting July 21, 8am, at Panera at the corner of Kimberly and Elmore in Davenport, Iowa.  No agenda except to meet each other though I want to discuss a packing party or two--in the Iowa and Illinois QC area.

Oh gosh, I wish you were having this on a weekend, I would be there in a heartbeat!!!!  But keep me posted on anything coming up in the area!  I'm thinking about having one in late September, early October but it would be on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon!

I didn't pick the time and place, but we'll do another one.  I want to have a packing party in August as I'll be gone a lot in September and October.

Come to think of it, who did pick the time and date?  Not that I can't make it, but I just can't remember now.

Hmmm--wants to just discuss a packing party.  Ruth, you have got the best of moms in Illinois who would love to guide you though a packing party.  See Pat L may be coming.  She's awesome:) ! :) !

IN the meantime, is everyone who is on facebook on Molly's Adopt a Sailor there?  We need your votes for our Combat Hospital.  More information there, but will send anyone some links if they need them.

Hi, I am pretty new at this and just joined Illinois Navy for moms, or I have joined 20 times and didn't know it!!! I saw you had a meet and greet at Panera.  I am so sorry I missed it, I only live 15 minutes from there.  I will watch for more chances. Thanks, Pam
