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 September 14, 2013 at 7:21pm: If you are coming to the FAIRVIEW HEIGHTS Meet & Greet and Packing Party on Sat., Sept 21st, please RSVP for our restaurant count. Also, need everyone to bring their goodies to pack, a box of quart and gallon ziplock type bags, and 2-5 large military flat rate packing boxes. My email refuses to go through to the USPS to order more boxes, and it won't let me re-set for new password.

Thanks--looking forward to seeing you! Carol

Comment by SandySea on September 13, 2013 at 3:34pm: I believe some of the Central IL moms were thinking of car-pooling to Fariview Heights on the 21st, but that was before the Bloomington date popped up. We southern IL moms will have fun with whoever (or is it "whomever") from wherever on the 21st in Fairview Heights. Come on down! See M&G Plus Packing Party in the discussions above and follow the link to RSVP.

Comment by AJ's-Mom on September 13, 2013 at 2:15pm: Laura, I don't remember reading about a gathering in Springfield. I was planning on going to the Meet and Greet in Fairview Heights on the 21st. But, I live in Springfield, so if there is a get together here I would change plans.

Comment by Laura on September 12, 2013 at 2:31am: I still have Sept. 21st penciled in as a Springfield area mom's get together. This was replaced by the Oct. 12th Bloomington get together correct?

Just trying to get my calendar updated. Good luck with that one right?

Comment by Laura on September 12, 2013 at 2:27am: Hi ladies! Sorry that I've been AWOL. Life. (sigh) What can I say?

So sorry that I wasn't on line checking out the situation with Chocoholic's daughter needing a ride.

FYI folks - My hubby works on Great Lakes Naval Base as a civilian. In his other life he an active reservist Master Sergeant in the Army.

We are available to help in an emergency. If I don't see the message please contact Pat L. Pat, you have my permission to hunt me down to get a message to me and the hubby.

Sanmor - Is there still a need to help out with the Lakemoor DIL?

Comment by Suzbee on September 12, 2013 at 1:06am: I am 45 minutes away. What does she need?

Comment by sandi8 on September 9, 2013 at 7:46am: I am in McHenry next to Lakemoor. If she has kids they go to the school where I teach. Can you PM me and let me know what I can do for her?

Comment by Sanmor on September 7, 2013 at 3:10pm: Lakemoor

Comment by carols_kitchen on September 7, 2013 at 3:08pm: Oh--what city/area? It's a big state up there.

Comment by carols_kitchen on September 7, 2013 at 3:06pm: Let me see if I can reach a friend who's bro-in-law is a coastie. His wife works from home.
