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 Besties4dogs (NukeMM) on February 17, 2014 at 11:43am: Congrats Joniana!!

Comment by Joniana (Helen) on February 17, 2014 at 10:37am: My son finally made it to South Carolina yesterday to start A school, after a two-month medical hold!

Comment by Proud Navy/NYPD Mom (Donna) on February 16, 2014 at 9:35pm: Yes, I think she was AnneohRN or something like that. I accidently found her in the CT moms group. She's moved.

But that's a good suggestion for Lorraine.

Lorraine, because we are small states, we often cross over to others. I live very close to RI, so I "infiltrated" that group. And when Sheryl, my partner in crime, & I were working on a regional packing party we each joined other states' groups. No harm in joining several.

Comment by sheryl Navy 2 on February 15, 2014 at 10:51pm: Hey guys .
Thanks Donna( my forever partner in crime) for trying for the coffee machines . Max did send his Kuerig from Italy to Djibouti rather than ship it here .
I still haven't heard anything from my POC TIM , but hope no news is good news :)
Wasn't there a mom that helped with the first packing party from Long Meadow ?? I had a customer in to day from Atleboro and Long meadow !! Long way from home down here .
Stay safe and warm
Miss you all .

Comment by Proud Navy/NYPD Mom (Donna) on February 15, 2014 at 10:29pm: Welcome Lorraine and Zanga-mom!! Things have been kind of quiet on our site lately, not sure why!! Probably the weather has something to do with that.

Lorraine, off hand I don't know of anyone from western MA that is active. We've had a lot of our sailors leave the Navy & often the Moms just leave their name on the members list (probably forgetting). Hopefully someone will speak up.....

Comment by Proud Navy/NYPD Mom (Donna) on February 15, 2014 at 10:26pm: Just wanted to let Dee, Ryan's Mum & Chelita -- we never heard a word back about the coffee. Nothing. They could at least have said no!! Very disappointed as I think we made a great case for support.

Comment by Zanga-mom (CVN 75) on February 12, 2014 at 5:50am: Just joined. My son will be meeting up with the Truman after his leave.

Comment by Lorraine on February 2, 2014 at 1:27pm: Is there anyone here from Western Mass?

Comment by Proud Navy/NYPD Mom (Donna) on January 24, 2014 at 8:51pm: Ryan's Mum, Dee & Chelita: I got the info from Huskerfan (Missi). It mainly involved writing a letter requesting a donation, but using the Massachusetts Navy Mom group working with Molly's on this adoption for Djibouti. I sent the request off this AM and got an automated reply. They will review the request and we should hear in about 2 weeks whether or not we will be receiving anything, something, or nothing. I am going to be very busy with family issues the 2nd week of February, so I may not be available to go and pick it up. But once I hear something, I am going to ask if they would consider shipping it directly to the troops there in Djibouti. I think it will go faster and will not cost us to take care of shipping.

I will keep the three of you in the loop, so we'll all know what is going on! Time to keep our fingers and toes crossed!!!

Comment by Proud Navy/NYPD Mom (Donna) on January 23, 2014 at 11:01pm: Thought you might like to see Samantha's very first school picture. She's 2-1/2 yo in this pic. I can't believe she will be 3 in March!!!
