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 carols_kitchen on January 14, 2011 at 4:31pm: Welcome Kelly. Not to slight anyone, but I don't know how I accidentally got such big type on Sue05's welcome. you're ALL great to us!

Comment by carols_kitchen on January 14, 2011 at 4:27pm: What is a Roxy?

Comment by carols_kitchen on January 14, 2011 at 4:27pm: Welcome to sue05 glad to have you with us.

Comment by carols_kitchen on January 13, 2011 at 5:02pm: Illinois Moms. If any of you can help out on Molly's Adopt A Sailor, http://www.navyformoms.com/group/mollysadoptasailorproject/forum/to...

the Abraham Lincoln is needing us to rev up and help out with their box count. I don't care if you get all the neighborhood kids to make cards, or if you send one box of one thing. If you can stretch your budget to ship one box to this January group, please let the coordinator over there know.

We are the Land of Lincoln. That also includes our USS Abe Lincoln.

Thanks.

Comment by T-Lynn on January 12, 2011 at 6:31pm: Next Tuesday ? !

Comment by carols_kitchen on January 12, 2011 at 2:43pm: Oh, T-lynne, yesterday's sewing party was rescheduled to next Tues., due to the snow and cold.

Comment by carols_kitchen on January 12, 2011 at 2:42pm: You can sew or tie die--you can get crayolas and heat set drawings on plain pillowcases--you can even get those iron on heat set pages that you run through the computer and put on a plain pillowcase. Someone told me that Sams club has a good price on plain white pillowcases to decorate. We just want a lot of different styles and personalities--there may be duplicates with our needed over 1,000, but I bet not many.

Let me know if you have any questions, or go to

http://www.navyformoms.com/group/mollysadoptasailorproject and look up Feb. 2011 pillowcases. I'm not announcing any other of their requests until we are done with the January group--which is also fantastic!
