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 Laura on January 23, 2013 at 2:14am: Doreen - I should have said that I am a "WAY NORTH" mom. I live in Lake Zurich. I haven't planned out a path yet but I don't mind scooping up moms along the way!

March sounds warmer than February, so I vote for a March date.

Comment by Cool Mom on January 21, 2013 at 5:41pm: I have a better idea. Let's meet somewhere warm like in Florida, Bahamas, St. Croix, you get my drift. It is stinkin cold here!!! I am in west Illinois - Quincy - so Springfield works for me. I plan on making a weekend of it.

Comment by medic mom on January 21, 2013 at 5:37pm: Any of those dates will work for me except May 9th. Get to go see a comedian that Sunday at Peoria's Civic Center. Cannot wait to get together with you gals though. SOOOOOOOOOOOO needing Navy mom time.

Comment by PAM (GM MOM) on January 21, 2013 at 3:24pm: Ruth, just rub it in LOL. My parents were winter Texans in Donna for nearly 20 years. My Dad would wait until he seen that it was really cold here and then call and say it was so hot there that he didn't know what he was going to do. You brought back such fun menories of my now deceased parents, thanks. Enjoy that weather for all of us, you lucky dog.

Comment by Ruth, Gun's Mom on January 21, 2013 at 12:04pm: Just my luck, I'll miss the get together. I'm not complaining though--I'm a part-time Texan for the winter. I hear it's brutally cold there today. The sun isn't shining here, but I've got the door and windows open! Hopefully, you'll have such a good time, you'll do it again after the first part of April!

Comment by Doreen-ProudNavyMom on January 21, 2013 at 10:22am: It looks like several would like to get together. I will just throw out a few dates to get this going. Feb 23, Mar 9, Mar 16, Mar 23 to start I believe we decided to meet in Springfield. What day works for most of us?

Laura - where are you from in Northern Illinois. I am from the Elgin/St. Charles area.

Comment by Laura on January 21, 2013 at 4:44am: Count me in on an overnight, extended-version lunch. I will try to drag a few other "Northern" moms along. Ready for a crazy car pool!

Comment by PAM (GM MOM) on January 20, 2013 at 11:51pm: Would love to do lunch some time if I can make. Things should be slowing down for me for awhile. I was Mom of the Month this month for Molly.s but, now that is just about over. Hope to be on here more often now.

Comment by navym29 on January 13, 2013 at 7:07pm: I would love to come to a luncheon :) I have not been able to meet any moms yet :) weekends work great for me!
