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 medic mom on October 25, 2012 at 9:14pm: Me!Me! I am totally excited for Saturday. Let me see how many are coming? Let's see there is you and me and furture docs mom and angie and pentwater and pat plus1 and jn/jf and greenoak and maybe barb. If I am missing anyone please let me know. I just know that I cannot wait to see everyone again and the ones that I haven't met yet also.

You guys are playing a little early for me. I will be there around 10 with future docs mom to watch LCHS and Marian Catholic play. Gonna need a little more sleep after dropping off the kid so I can be wide awake for all of the fun afterwards. Besides my kiddo has a long day that day. He gets to play at ISU and WIU. Poor kiddo and poor band. LOL

Comment by Sanmor on October 25, 2012 at 9:07pm: Who all is excited about Saturday ????

How many of us will there be now???

I kind of lost count along the way. Anyone going to be at ISU earlier enough to come sit with me to cheer on Eureka??? You wont be able to miss all the Eureka fans up in the stands, look high up at 50 yard line

Comment by Donna on October 25, 2012 at 7:29pm: debzz3, I know that there are more Navy Moms in Southern Illinois, I just don't think they know about this site or just don't get on here very often. It seems like it goes in cycles, very active then no activity at all! But, if you ever need another mom to laugh with, cry with, or vent with....there is no better place to be then here! These moms understand and are a wealth of information!

Comment by debzz3 on October 25, 2012 at 11:20am: that's a good idea. We do all our shopping and stuff in Cape as it is closer to us than places in IL. So MO would be good, we're only like 20-25 mins away.

Comment by SandySea on October 25, 2012 at 11:07am: debzz3-Check out the MO moms group and the KY group. You may find some northern KY ladies near you. The MO group has talked about a M&G in Kimmswick. That might be closer to you than most of us in IL. If you click on "view all" in the members section it will list home towns.

Sending you a friend request also.

Comment by carols_kitchen on October 24, 2012 at 10:02pm: taptap--I sentyou a friend request. I'm working all weekend for the craft fair at Triad High School. There has to be a licensed food manager on duty and I've got both afternoons. Makes up for being off Thur & Fri for parent teacher conferences. Otherwise, just about any weekend or Thursday evening.

Comment by carols_kitchen on October 24, 2012 at 8:30pm: The closest I know are some moms in Mt. Vernon. I'll keep my eyes open for you.

Comment by debzz3 on October 24, 2012 at 8:23pm: I meant anyone living down this way. I'm about 1 hour south of Carbondale. Just 14 miles out of Cairo, the very southern tip of IL.
