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."

We want moms to walk along the parade route and hand out the Molly's Adopt A Sailor frisbees and brochures. The parade is at noon but everyone is asked to gather at the Trinity Church on Ardmore at 10:30AM.This is a great opportunity to spread the word about "Molly's" and recruit support to send to our troops! It's going to be fun!! Come join us!!

If your welcome got missed in May -early June, my apologies. Somehow my "follow new members" got turned off.

Pentwater--good news :)

Sandy Sea--love your sense of humor

Pat L--miss you girlfriend (((hugs)))

Comment by Pat L. in IL on June 11, 2012 at 7:09am: Pentwater, OMG, what a wonderful surprise!! ENJOY!! Be sure to give him a hug and thank him for his service from one of his "other moms."

SandySea, Man, girl, I hope they don't come after you for damages when the real reason for the flash flooding comes out!! (Hope you had a great time with your sailor)

Comment by Pentwater98 on June 11, 2012 at 6:45am: I am one very happy Navy mom right now.. My Sailor surprised his dad and I and came home from Sub School before he heads to Kings Bay, GA. He kept telling us that he didn't have the leave to come home. Him and his little brother (who is taller than everyone) had this planned for awhile. I walked in our garage Saturday after getting my hair, toes and nails done and there he was... I am still in shock..
