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 June 23, 2013 at 12:42pm: @ Dee, yes let's get together. I will try to call you later on today.

Comment by Proud Navy/NYPD Mom (Donna) on June 23, 2013 at 12:41pm: Welcome new MA Moms! We are so glad to have you join us!! I can tell you from personal experience that the Moms in this group are amazing, wonderful women. They've gotten me thru a lot lately - I don't know I could have survived without their support and prayers. If you find yourself in need of something/anything all you have to do is leave a post whether it is navy info, sailor info, or personal these sisters are here to help. (Me too.)

Comment by darlene on June 22, 2013 at 9:18pm: Donna! So glad to see you back!! If you want any help or want to chat about any "FUN" raising please give me call or reach out to me. I'm glad to help out. We have lots planned this summer for our non-profit, but anything I can do for you, you know I'm here. We're all in this together!

Comment by NausetMom on June 22, 2013 at 6:18pm: Hi Denise(Dee) thanks for the welcome.

Comment by NausetMom on June 22, 2013 at 5:46pm: Thanks Navymomx2, for the info. I am just further down Cape in Eastham. How exciting to have 2 in the Navy. I would love to hear about your sons graduation on 7/3. I watched part of yesterdays - it brought tears to my eyes. Couldn't watch anymore as I want to experience it when he graduates.

Comment by Navymomx2 on June 22, 2013 at 5:27pm: *last summer home

Comment by Navymomx2 on June 22, 2013 at 5:25pm: Hi, NausetMom. I am a Falmouth mom with a daughter who is also leaving in August. my son is graduating from Great Lakes on 7/3 and I can tell you that the info on here is INVALUABLE! Connect here, connect on the DEP leaving in August page if you haven't already. Connect on the bootcamp moms page too. I have made some great contacts here and we are already family... we all can't wait to meet each other in Chicago in a little over a week. My advice: take advantage of every moment with your son and make sure he enjoys every minute of his lay summer home.... they get homesick real quick!

Comment by NausetMom on June 22, 2013 at 3:30pm: Hi I am a new to N4M's, my son will leave for bootcamp in August. I was thrilled to see a MA group for Navy Moms. Any advice for a future Navy Mom?

Comment by Proud Navy/NYPD Mom (Donna) on June 22, 2013 at 9:34am: Hi Dee! How was the run/walk?? I'm sure you survived. I like Besties4dogs Diva Run idea too. Sounds like fun and exciting.

Also got me to thinking! I know: "Uh-oh".

But maybe we should be thinking N4M fun and fund-raiser?! MAS pays a fee to MA every year so that we are registered with the state to do any fund-raising we want. Even having a table at some local summer-time fair, requires that we pay a "registration fee" with the state. Figures, doesn't it? We are non-profit, but we have to pay a fee to try and raise $$s. Well, at least it isn't only MA and for once MA isn't the most expensive one to pay.

Time for us to have some fun ...! I know I could use something to plan ahead for. Even help with organizing. Time to re-join life. Maurice wouldn't want me to keep living in the past and in sadness, so I will try.

Comment by Besties4dogs (NukeMM) on June 19, 2013 at 1:13pm: Hi Dee,

Good luck tomorrow. My daughter's best friend is also in the JP Morgan race. She posted a picture of her bib on Facebook after she picked it up. My daughter is also training for a race in Manchester, NH the end of the month. Apparently, it is a Diva run and the girls are greeted by handsome hunks in tuxedos carrying roses at the end, very fun. Hopefully, the weather will be nice tomorrow, as expected. My son started his every other week PT yesterday, in preparation for boot camp. His current date is Feb. 12th but they are trying to get him in sooner. We are hoping for a new date next week.

Anyway, good luck in the race!!
