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 June 11, 2010 at 9:19pm: Hello Kathy(Codi's Mom) . Let us know how we can help you here!

Comment by MissMySailor on June 11, 2010 at 9:18pm: Sorry too Nave Dad Mark I have Cancer and maybe too sensative! I just think we all should feel comfortable adding to conversation!!! LOL.

Comment by MissMySailor on June 11, 2010 at 7:27pm: Navy dad Mark please don't address me with a! I am here with love and to have fun with other Navy parents. If I want to wear a N4M shirt to represent myself and if others do too I will. We are not asking to go on the field just support our sailors let them know they are not alone. I am not the only person who wanted to do this so read the posts I am just contributing when asked to and NOT trying to change tradition of 20 yrs.

Comment by MissMySailor on June 11, 2010 at 3:30pm: I am still for the shirts. It is like when you look at the stands at a game and see all the black soxs shirts it would be coo to look into the stands and see all the Navy shirts and how many family members came out to support the new men being sworn in.

Comment by T-Lynn on June 11, 2010 at 10:42am: Good idea .
Seems a plan is coming together
Have a good day all

Comment by MissMySailor on June 10, 2010 at 10:43pm: I say white shirts Navy blue print or Navy blue shirts with white letters. I was pondering..... It would be cool to get the same shirts then see if we all could locally find a place to get our sons navy pic onto the back of the shirt. We have almost a year to get it done. Paula

Comment by T-Lynn on June 10, 2010 at 10:18pm: Thank you Pat :)

Ok - now I have questions:
What color background and the color of the print?
And we got have our own photographer/ photographers.

Have to share this too. On the Japan Moms site - a mom made a large photoof her son ( wearing his uniform). But this photgraph was placed on a stick. She calles it "Sailor on a Stick" too. This way when the family goes on trips - their son ( the sailor ) comes along. She said it has been fun . . So we all could make our own "Sailor on a Stick" and bring those along for the game - now that would get the camerman's attention!

Ok - President NDM - need your input too.

Comment by Pat L. in IL on June 10, 2010 at 10:03pm: Second the motion!

Comment by T-Lynn on June 10, 2010 at 9:59pm: Good Evening

First meeting of the of the IL Moms and Dads has been called to order.
President - Navy Dad Mark has made two requests:
1. That the IL Moms and Dads, will make a good attempt to havea large group of us present at the next White SOx Navy Game, and
2. that when we all attend the White Sox Navy Game, that we all are to wear the same T- Shirt.

Then I ask for the two request to be moved as a motion

Need a second here
We need a second here.

Comment by MissMySailor on June 10, 2010 at 9:23pm: We would like to join you all next year and I like the idea of all of us wearing the same shirt too!
