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 Brbr3 on September 1, 2011 at 2:44pm: Kaye, What a fun day that will be for everyone! Sorry that I will have to miss it. Thank you for all your hard work in organizing these events.

Comment by Kaye S. on August 30, 2011 at 11:38pm: I got 20 Navy drink bottles and 25 Navy lanyards today from Chief O'Connor, from the Area recruiting office! He's planning to get the simulator, like the one at the state fair, plus some other "surprises" he doesn't want to mention just yet :-D

Comment by Mama Bearr293 on August 30, 2011 at 10:21pm: Ohh I definitely am sending him a ton!

He's going to be overwhelmed. That's my goal!

Comment by carols_kitchen on August 30, 2011 at 3:14pm: MamBearr--if you want your bf to get extra mail at boot camp, drop me a private message. But let him know he may get something that in return addy says Navy4Moms. However, I suspect you are sending him plenty of mail. Glad to have you with the group!

Comment by carols_kitchen on August 30, 2011 at 3:13pm: btw--the tupperware container smelled like green onions--maybe there was taco dip in it? Anyone missing it yet?

Comment by Mama Bearr293 on August 30, 2011 at 12:29pm: Not a mom, but still from Indiana! Would like to join. :]

Comment by Kaye S. on August 29, 2011 at 9:18pm: Center Grove Bantam Football League

1st Annual "ARMY vs NAVY" Game!

     For the first year ever, the Center Grove Bantam Football League, in Bargersville, has 7/8-year-old teams named "Army" and "Navy."

     To celebrate this famous rivalry, the League is collecting donations during the entire season, of money and care package items for military personnel. These will be presented to the USO at the 'classic' Army vs. Navy match-up, which is also the final game of the season.

     The teams also want to have active military personnel in the stands cheering for them. A friendly challenge has been issued to see who has the most :-D

The game features:

- a Navy color guard

- an Army VIP to conduct the ceremonial coin toss

- Veterans from previous wars as Honorary Team Captains

- Military vehicles / aircraft

- DVDs of the game for folks to send to military units.

This should be great fun!

     I've accepted an invitation from the organizers for Indiana Navy Moms to attend and participate. To reciprocate the kindness they're showing to our sailors, I committed to providing navy blue and gold pom-poms for the spectators (I've ordered them already - 50 cents each), and bring the after-game snacks & drinks for the 14 players. I plan to get "Go Navy" drink bottles for each, plus whatever other 'swag' I can get my hands on!

     I also asked the Navy Team Mom to give me an email address, plus first names or jersey numbers, and I'll see if my son's sub will send the little guys emails encouraging them to "Beat Army!" I'm happy to give you the info if you wish to ask your sailor's unit to do the same.

     Details are on the Events calendar. Please leave your RSVP at this link and let me know if you'd like to (1) attend, (2) bring some snacks/drinks, (3) contribute money toward the poms.

"Go Navy! Beat Army!"
