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 Sanmor on October 1, 2013 at 9:03am: Want to chat on the phone???

Comment by Sanmor on October 1, 2013 at 9:02am: Wonderful, the more the merrier. Oh love Tanners, have fun. We will definitely sort out a day and time.

Comment by Sanmor on October 1, 2013 at 8:50am: Awesome, I am off work today, which is unusual since I am normally Mon thru Fri. We have another new Navy Mom in Washington who is still waiting for PIR. I have been a Navy Mom for over 3 years now, it does get a little easier. Little ones are so good for the soul. I smile at all the little ones coming through the store, reminds me of my own at that age, and so wish they still were most of the time lol. Let me know when and where, we will chat :-)

Comment by Sanmor on October 1, 2013 at 8:28am: Zookeeper AWESOME!!! someone else like myself, and the Navy Mom thing is so much harder than the Navy Wife thing, correct???? :-)

I know where Mackinaw is for sure. I sure hope you will come to the luncheon Oct 12? You will meet a few we have in this general area, along with some a little further away. We must get together though for coffee. It is just so nice to chat with other Moms that know what you are going through. :-)

Comment by Sanmor on September 29, 2013 at 9:50pm: Hi Tammy, I am in between Bloomington and Peoria in Eureka.

Loving the picture of the meet and greet :-)

Comment by Ellen65 on September 28, 2013 at 12:10pm: Carols_kitchen This was the first meet & greet and packing party I've been too, I really enjoyed meeting everyone and talking to other Navy Mom's! Thanks so much for organizing and everything else you do for the Sailors!

Comment by carols_kitchen on September 28, 2013 at 10:48am: Fairview Heights, Southwestern ILLINOIS Moms (and one Dad) meet and greet plus packing party for troops adoption and MASH unit. We had enough (including pillowcases) for 7 boxes for the USS Preble adoption; 2 boxes for our Combat MASH hospital; plus one box of socks for the hospital! Greet meeting everyone one (some of you again.) Let me know if you need information about Meet & Greets or Packing Parties through Molly's Adopt a Sailor (mollysadoptasailor.com or facebook.) Carol

Comment by Donna on September 27, 2013 at 11:37pm: No problem Carol!

Comment by carols_kitchen on September 27, 2013 at 9:08pm: I forgot about early wedding with late reception. It's not going to work. You just want to save them for another time, or if they fit in a flat rate box and you've got shipping money, I have the combat hospital address. Thanks.

Comment by Donna on September 27, 2013 at 8:49pm: Carols kitchen, sorry I have been busy the last couple of day, if you would like for me to still bring you the flip flops tomorrow - I can. Just let me know a place and time.
