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 Proud Navy/NYPD Mom (Donna) on October 1, 2013 at 8:52pm: FYI: The October adoption has been announced. We will be shipping to 300 sailors on the USS Shoup - the crew of the mighty USS Shoup. Check out the discussion above for additional information.

The more the merrier! And we are going to be needing all the help we can get!

Comment by Proud Navy/NYPD Mom (Donna) on October 1, 2013 at 8:51pm: I'm so glad you will be coming Chelita!! 300 pies in a jar!!! My goodness, you are going to be very, very busy my friend.

Will you be putting them in boxes to ship to bring them to the packing party? Just wondering because if not, we all need to start ordering boxes now! :)

Comment by Chellita on October 1, 2013 at 8:09pm: I'm in for the packing party Donna!

And... I've decided I am making "pie in a jar", in fact I have already recruited 4 super friends and we are committed to making one "pie in a jar" for every sailor on board, yes, 300!!

We are going to make 100 pumpkin, 100 apple and 100 pecan.

SO excited about this!!!!

Comment by Proud Navy/NYPD Mom (Donna) on October 1, 2013 at 7:38pm: Just FYI & for the new Moms. I changed my profile picture to my Dad. He died 3 years ago today from pancreatic cancer.

In 5 weeks you will see a picture of my Mom. She died 5 weeks after Daddy of undiagnosed heart disease.

Comment by Proud Navy/NYPD Mom (Donna) on October 1, 2013 at 7:33pm: @ Nick's mom -- check your inbox. Top, right side, right below "Sign In"/"Sign Out". So glad you'll be coming!

NausetMom, you will be missed.

Comment by NausetMom on October 1, 2013 at 1:17pm: I will not be able to make this packing party - HS football game has been moved to Saturday. Have fun ladies- hopefully next time I can make it

Comment by Rhody Navy Mom on September 30, 2013 at 9:53pm: 12:30 on 10/19 for a packing party sounds GREAT to me!

Comment by Rhody Navy Mom on September 30, 2013 at 9:52pm: Proud Navy/NYPD mom - Donna, where do I find your PM message, brain freeze tonite!

Comment by Proud Navy/NYPD Mom (Donna) on September 30, 2013 at 9:38pm: Just a couple of FYIs: Hallmark is having a buy 1, get 1 free Stock-up Event, October 14-21. This applies to holiday cards, boxed cards, stationery and gift wrap. A perfect time to pick up some cards, if you need to, for our packing party.

Also, Five Below has some nice soft footballs in great colors for between $3-$5.

More info is in the discussion.
