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."

Good Morning :), Anita - how perfect. A Club purse. What genius and so claasy too. It would be wearable with other out fits. But you need to come up with somthing for the Dads - sorry , I am just not into that European Man Purse look. And fellow Moms - PLEASE - PLEASE if you can get a picture of that first hug - get it and share it. That would have meaning to each of us here :).

Good we are Officially the Kleenex Club. Now we need T-shirts, with a huge pocket that can carry lots of kleenx and a hat. Our Club song could be sung to the song in the Wizard of Oz - The Lollipop Giuld and our Motto:
Navy Moms / Dads - Prepared to Cry Anywhere and At Any Time! I vote Carol as Presidnet and Navy Dad as Vice President Anti M - Official Club Advisor. Debi is Secreatary - We need a Treasurer and don't look at me - I 'm the one who has problems operating a computer. I just start things here :)
Did anyone visit the main site and see the slide show? And I still don't get "Stop Following ... Must be a gray hair moment. TLynn

PS What is that message?
"Stop Follwing ..."
Is it new or did I have tunnel vision again?

Ok - how does one look up kleenex stock?
And joing you in a good cry.
Is any one else joining us?

HI Sandy - Ditto to everything that has been shared. And I still say we - Navy Moms and Dads - we should invest in kleenex stock - lets face it - We use it the most! I have a box of kleenex next to the computer when I get on these sites. ( Trying to make you smile Sandy) Go ahead and cry - I cried my eyes out at Chicago International .. And Carol - I foroget that your sailor made you stay in the parking lot. He will be home soon - so when he has to leave again - NO WAY do you stay in that parking lot. WE are Navy Moms and we can cry anywhere we want! We earned that right. And now I'm bragging! Please visit the Main site of N4M's. On the slide show - the 5th one from the beginning is my sailor! And I viewed the entire slide show - I recognized some other pictures and I think those pictures are from this site and IL - check them out please. Have a great day. Blessing to our Veterans. That means you too Anti M - you being on this site is a blessing . Have to take mom for some testing - fingers crossed for good results TLynn
