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 PKM on May 4, 2018 at 8:36pm: If you could meet on Wednesday What town might be closer for SubMom. I am flexible about location. Any other Moms are welcome to join in.

Comment by SubMom on May 4, 2018 at 7:54am: It would have to be a weekend for me if we need in Holly or Fenton as I am over two hours away

Comment by misisu on May 2, 2018 at 11:24pm: Wednesday would be great for me. (Tuesday adn Thursday would work as well, just not as easily) What about in Holly? There is a restaurant there called the Red Devil. Week of the 14th, 6pm -ish?

Comment by PKM on May 1, 2018 at 8:45pm: I can do any of those days. Are we are talking about the week of the 14th?? Would Fenton be too far or in the wrong direction?

Comment by SubMom on May 1, 2018 at 6:56pm: Tuesday / Wednesday /Thursday would work for me. How about everyone else?

Comment by PKM on April 30, 2018 at 8:01pm: Ok, let's meet. I might be camping the 3rd weekend in May though. Are weeknights a possibility? I am willing to drive. I'd be coming from US 23 & I 96.

Comment by SubMom on April 29, 2018 at 12:18pm: misisu - I am available the 3rd weekend of May

Comment by misisu on April 28, 2018 at 9:04pm: SubMom, NickSydmom, Kai Cat, PKM and any others in the area - what about meeting for lunch the 3rd or 4th weekend in May? My schedule is pretty booked, but I would love to meet!

Comment by SubMom on April 19, 2018 at 6:35pm: NickSydmom, misisu, kai cat, PKM - I would love to meet all of you. I think it would be fun if there is a day and central town where we could meet. What are your thoughts? Hope everyone is having a good evening

Comment by NickSydmom on April 19, 2018 at 12:42pm: I haven’t checked in for a while, I would love to meet you other moms. If you ladies have already met any chance we can plan another meet?
