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."

Save the dates! Rock Island Arsenal Open House and Armed Forces Day observance July 7. Air show date changed to September 1-2. Navy moms will have a Molly's Adopt a Sailor tent hopefully at both.

Did you try typing in Iowa Navy Moms in the search box? It should come up, but since it's a closed group, you have to request to join after you find it. If you still have problems, send me a PM with your name.

Got word this morning that my cousin's son in Mount Vernon walked into the family super bowl party wearing a Navy cap and handed his mom a Proud Parent of a Sailor bumper sticker! Not only another Iowa Navy mom, but one in my family!

I got it up and running. I can change the name--I thought about Hawkeye Navy Moms, but that would/could offend the western side of the state! Hawkeye/Cyclone Navy Moms? To begin, it's Iowa Navy Moms so you can find it. I made it a closed group, so you have to request to be added, but I can make it an open group. Give me ideas and I'll play with it. The three members now are all actually in Illinois, but the QC is joined by a river!!

I must say thank you to you too, although death is never easy, this is one time that another memory has taken on another meaning. It was a very touching story, and I bet his grandpa is just as proud of his grandson as you are as a parent,
