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 kaymarie on August 25, 2013 at 8:11am: I think I already mentioned on FB that I can't make it that day, however, I'm loving being part of this group and getting to know other Navy moms. Thank you! By the way, I'm in Kaneville, between Batavia and DeKalb.

Comment by barefoot1 on August 23, 2013 at 12:58pm: Sanmor, you'll hopefully be seeing at least one other (new) Central IL Mom - I'm less than an hour from Bloomington and would love to get in on this!

Comment by greenoak on August 22, 2013 at 10:50pm: Im in Sanmore!

Comment by medic mom on August 22, 2013 at 9:40pm: Sanmor sounds great to me. Would love to. Just pick the place and time. I will be there.

On a happy note. My son comes home for leave on Saturday. Got our first deployment done and now for his r and r time. I cannot wait to see him and hug him. Will post pics.

Comment by Sanmor on August 22, 2013 at 8:14pm: Okay Bloomington lunching ladies, should we say October 12th and see who all can come for sure ??? Should I put it in the events ????

Comment by Peggy R on August 21, 2013 at 3:30pm: Beth, Cheryl and Momma C, maybe we can start our own group in this area. I work during the week but most Saturdays I could do something. Saturdays are laundry, cleaning, grocery shopping day. :)

Comment by Cheryl Ship 07 Div 160 on August 21, 2013 at 11:20am: MommaC, there are just a few local moms that I know of right now. Would love to do a get together like the moms in the Bloomington area do. I just have a very busy schedule from now until November, but I have a few Saturdays that hopefully will be open. Hopefully we can all get together one of these days.

Comment by BethD on August 20, 2013 at 4:38pm: Cheryl......wow you are close by! I'm only 7 miles from Louis Joliet Mall....I'm near Weber and Boughton in Bolingbrook. I am a stay at home mom too but I just got a job as a speech therapist....but I won't be working until Sept probably. Cheryl if you want to try to meet up during the day some time we can meet at the mall.

Comment by BethD on August 20, 2013 at 4:37pm: Yes, Doreen you are right, I could not go tonight as my kids have open house at their school tonight. It's at 6:00 pm in Naperville at Connies Pizza right off of Ogden and Iroquois. If you can go the woman who put it together is BeckyKuhagen Morgan.....you can find her on FB as well.
