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 Kaye S. on June 27, 2011 at 7:15pm: NAVY WEEK IS STARTING TO "FALL IN" - Stay Tuned!

I just got off the phone with Cmdr Jane Taylor, who's in charge of planning our Indiana Navy Week! We've finally started assigning some dates to the activities that Navy For Moms are going to help with (TENTATIVE):

1. Monday, August 15, 6:00 pm - "Dine With a Sailor!"; Sailors will be attending our monthly Westies Dinner... see the Events Calendar for further details, as they are available.

2. Tuesday, August 16, 9:00 pm - Wreath Laying Ceremony at the USS Indianapolis Memorial, on the canal in downtown Indy. Survivors and/or families, Admirals, Navy Band, and city dignitaries will be in attendance.

3. Tuesday, August 16, 7:00 pm - A large DEP Swearing-In Ceremony (probably at a sports event); Navy For Moms will host a hospitality tent for the families whose DEPper is leaving for Great Lakes afterward. We'll provide a sympathetic shoulder for this emotional time and answer questions re: boot camp and Navy life.

4. Later that week (TBA) - Provide lunch for Seabees constructing a Habitat for Humanity home. We'll provide HOMESTYLE food and desserts, like only MOM can make!

5. Saturday, August 20 (TBA) - Packing party for care packages to be sent by Molly's Adopt-A-Sailor. Details forthcoming.

Comment by CeeCee on June 21, 2011 at 10:50am: Navy 08 mom, what ship is your son deployed on? My son is on the Bush and he's 7 hours away........just wondering if they're on the same ship....

Comment by Pat on June 19, 2011 at 7:12am: It is great to hear that organization is alive and well. Watched it for a while when I first heard about it...glad it has taken off, too!

Comment by Pat on June 16, 2011 at 8:37pm: Long time no hear NavyDad! Welcome back!

Comment by Brbr3 on June 13, 2011 at 1:11pm: That's rough. It is so far and now, depending on the area, not a place that is as stable as you would like. My daughter spent time in Japan as a nanny for an American family with 8 children! She really liked it but got homesick and with the cost of flights there you can't just jump in a plane to go see them. My son is on an aircraft carrier.
