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 May 21, 2013 at 12:08am: Dear Friends,

I had to write this message and let you know that I will be MIA for a while. I'm so sorry, but I can't organize the meet and greet that we've been chatting about for June 1st. I am very disappointed, but it is just impossible for me to do. You see my dear, beloved husband died this morning. He was ill with pneumonia, but his death was completely sudden and unexpected.

I just wanted you all to know what happened to me. I will be back, but I need some time.

Hugs to each of you,

Donna

Comment by Navymassmomship13div313 on May 14, 2013 at 1:27pm: Donna, we can do the June 1st. As long as it is after 12pm. And were will we be meeting? I will have my husband and I have to take my 4 yr old grandson I will bring thinks to keep him busy. Looking forward to meeting everyone.

Comment by sheryl Navy 2 on May 14, 2013 at 10:39am: Hi Donna,
Jess is on her way and we are into Charleston tomorrow ,she is getting her classes all set for Fall:)
We are only 70 miles from there so if Andrew wanted a place ,he is very welcome to stay while interviewing , or you bring him ????

Comment by Proud Navy/NYPD Mom (Donna) on May 14, 2013 at 10:33am: @ Dee & Sheryl - wow, we're going to have a southern extension of MA Navy Moms!! Andrew is going to Charleston, SC for 3 interviews (I forget the dates) & I'm trying to convince my hubby to retire (no luck so far). But wouldn't that be fun to all move south!? We'll have to put Sheryl on the house hunting trail! But I have to wait a bit so as not to move too close to Andrew. He deserves to have his own space and life.

Dee, "baby talk"? That is sooo exciting!!

Comment by Proud Navy/NYPD Mom (Donna) on May 14, 2013 at 10:29am: OK, how about either June 1st or 22nd? I'd like to see us get together before July. After talking to Carol (as in Carol's Kitchen), let's plan to include our hubbies or significant others, or bring along a girlfriend if you'd like so you don't have to drive alone.

Any preferences on time? I'm thinking a late lunch like around 2p. Would that work?

I'll make some phone calls and see if I can find us a place where we can have our own private space & if they will let us order from the menu what we want and give us separate checks or if they will limit us. That will likely depend upon how many of us are going to make it.

I'm so excited!! Can't wait to get together again ...

Comment by Joniana (Helen) on May 14, 2013 at 9:46am: Hi Donna, would love to join you all. My schedule seems to change hourly, so please post the time and place you decide on and I'll try to come. Thanks for organizing us!

Comment by Navymomx2 on May 14, 2013 at 8:40am: Morning, ladies. I would love to meet you all. Either Foxboro or Wrentham works fine for me; only about an hour or so drive from the Cape. Due to prior commitments, I am only available 5/25,6/1,6/22,7/13,7,20,7/27,8/24,8/31. My son left 5/7 for boot camp. My daughter will leave 8/20. Then my nest will be empty...:o(

Comment by sheryl Navy 2 on May 13, 2013 at 10:39pm: No Dee you cannot have your sister " beat " you getting down South !!! I'll come and help you and Donna declutter and get moved ????

We have an addition to our San Diego sailors family ! Cato ,a beautiful 6 wk old Rottweiler puppy . Should be interesting with next 8 wks of training away from home ......

Comment by Proud Navy/NYPD Mom (Donna) on May 12, 2013 at 9:45pm: OK, MA moms - we have 2 out of staters wishing they could meet, but what about the rest of you??

Comment by carols_kitchen on May 12, 2013 at 11:02am: Donna--would love to come! My hubby has come to many of the Moms lunches, and others wish they had included theirs, too. If anyone has a distance to drive, it makes it easier.

btw, no I am not in MA, but would love to me. My faaather was from there, and we visited all the time in my younger years. Someday you may get me back for a visit!

Happy Mother's Day to all.
