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 proudmom on April 6, 2013 at 7:42pm: Thanks daubersmom! I look forward to meeting many of our KS moms sometime in the future.

Comment by daubersmom on April 6, 2013 at 11:33am: Proudmom,

Congratulations!!! That is awesome you get to see both of your military kids. To be honest, I wasnt sure this group was still active, I had posted in here when my Sailor first left and didnt get a response but now that I know it is, I will be sure to post the next one here so you will have more notice.

Comment by proudmom on April 6, 2013 at 8:55am: Since my question about getting together, my sons wife has had a baby girl! Natalie Renee. He is in the Army stationed at Ft Campbell with the 101st Airborne. We will e leaving Sunday morning to go see our new granddaughter so I won't get to join this get together but hopefully there will be more...
My Navy daughter was home for a break they had and it was wonderful to spend a few days with her as I see her so infrequently now.
So I am quite lucky to be able to see both my military kids in two weeks time!!
Have fun meeting each other

Comment by daubersmom on April 6, 2013 at 5:52am: proud mom,

You are welcome to join us. We met each other on FB, and live close to each other.

I willl send you a message with the details.

Comment by proudmom on April 5, 2013 at 3:29pm: Don't know if this is open to all Kansas moms but if the celebration of meeting everyone is open to all of us somewhere I missed that invite. If not I hope you all gave a great time getting to know each other :-)

Comment by daubersmom on April 5, 2013 at 12:43pm: I will be wearing a Navy Mom shirt..

My son HM (Hospital Corpsman)

Cant wait to meet you all..

And yes Andrea, you are right...

Comment by Caryatid on April 5, 2013 at 12:08pm: Hi, all. I would love to join you on Sunday, but no guarantees. It's husband's birthday weekend. Major celebration on Sat, but you never know.

How will I find you if I can swing it? I'll wear a navy cap.

FYI--son is MM at Power School at Goose Creek, SC. (mechanic's mate in the nuke program--it's so hard to keep all the abbreviations for the rates straight!)

Hope to see you!

Carol
