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 September 17, 2013 at 9:56pm: I was chatting with Nick's mom from RI today and I have a question to pose to all of you.

October 30 would have been my 42 wedding anniversary and I am absolutely dreading the day!!! If I could stay in bed with the covers over my head and cry all day I would. But it wouldn't help. So I have come up with another idea.

I'm thinking about having a packing party for the October group (they will be getting the boxes around Thanksgiving). Looking at the following dates: 10/19, 26 or 27.

Anyone interested?? I was thinking of going with a Thanksgiving theme. Snacks, pies in a jar, home-made cookies, nerf footballs, decorations - anything to encourage the "trash-talk" that seems to accompany football games with men! Maybe we can try to get some donations of items from the Patriots??

Just a thought.

I'm going to start a discussion above so we can keep all our info together.

Comment by Johanna on September 17, 2013 at 8:40pm: I received the most beautiful thank you card today. It embraced all of us and the common bond we share. Today is the 37th year that I have missed my Mother. She would be so happy that we all found each other. I know I am. And at the same time, with my oldest deployed, my youngest Sailor is driving out to Washington State, to meet his Sub, all by himself, and having a blast. It just doesn't get any better. Hugs, Johanna

Comment by Chellita on September 15, 2013 at 8:12pm: Thank You Donna for keeping momentum going!

Anyone thinking of coming PM me and I will give you address/directions.

No worries if you are a last minute in, it's really about whoever comes has goodies to pack and hands to pack them with.

: )

Comment by Proud Navy/NYPD Mom (Donna) on September 15, 2013 at 1:41pm: Just a reminder note here. IF you are coming & I really hope you are, you will need to "Friend" Chelita so that she can send you a PM with her info.

Also, please leave a comment here if you are coming. Remember the party starts at 12PM.

If people want to carpool, this is the place to hook up with someone ... just sayin'

Comment by Joniana (Helen) on September 15, 2013 at 12:47pm: Hi Michelle, thanks for organizing this. I will not know until the end of the week if I can come, so I'd appreciate it if you could keep me on the list. Thanks.

Comment by Proud Navy/NYPD Mom (Donna) on September 14, 2013 at 1:09pm: Chelita, just got back from shopping and picking up some food items we like here in MA. That plus some other things I picked up from Amazon, etc. should make a few boxes for MA sailors.

Comment by Chellita on September 14, 2013 at 12:57pm: How does 12:00 sound?

Comment by Proud Navy/NYPD Mom (Donna) on September 14, 2013 at 8:29am: One thing Michelle -- what time??

Comment by NausetMom on September 14, 2013 at 7:29am: Sorry I will not be able to make it, Hopefully next time

Comment by Johanna on September 14, 2013 at 7:20am: Hey Michelle, just sent a FR to the Navy Moms FB. I am really going to try to come on the 21st... thank you for doing this! How's things?
