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 Julyasmom on June 20, 2015 at 9:40am: Lorraine...not too far at all. So you'd know where Vandercook is. :-)

Lorraine & Yvette...are you talking about the Navy for Moms FB page? Or is there another page I should know about? Sending my one and only daughter out into the Navy I've just been looking for ways to stay in touch and be connected to her world without being a crazy person. :-)

MarianneKT'sMom...how does your daughter like the Navy life?

Hope you ladies have a great day! I'll be baking 8 doz. cookies for Fathers Day at church and a dessert for Sunday dinner, as well as my daughter's boyfriend's open house!

Comment by Lorraine on June 20, 2015 at 8:40am: Julyasmom, you're not far from me. I'm a tiny bit SE of Tekonsha. :-)
Yvette, I wonder if I hadn't invited you to the group. I just did but the admin has to approve so give it a day then try again.

Comment by Julyasmom on June 19, 2015 at 1:50pm: Hi Ladies! Thanks for the welcome. We live down a tiny bit south of Jackson.

Comment by Lorraine on June 19, 2015 at 9:45am: Welcome Julyasmom. You and your daughter are in for a ride but enjoy it. It's a great opportunity. Ask any questions right here in the comments and let us know when you need support. From time to time a mom will host a meet up.. Hope you can join us sometime. What part of the state are you in?

Comment by MarianneKT's Mom on June 17, 2015 at 11:41pm: Welcome Julyasmom! I'm over in the Ypsilanti area. My daughter has been in since Oct 2008.

Comment by Julyasmom on June 17, 2015 at 11:07pm: Hi Michigan Moms! I just joined this group so I thought I'd say Hello. My daughter leaves for boot camp July 22. Time is going so fast! She graduated from high school in May...just got the open house done...family vacation next week and then going away party...crazy!!

Comment by Lorraine on June 13, 2015 at 10:34pm: Have fun, Kathy B.
We are enjoying time with the grands.

Comment by MarianneKT's Mom on June 11, 2015 at 7:05pm: Thanks for sharing! Love the pics.

Comment by ML on June 11, 2015 at 9:02am: Congratulations & very nice pics, I love the group shot with Jesus watching over them.

Comment by Lorraine on June 6, 2015 at 10:17am: Great pictures, MichianaMom. Your son knows who to hang out with for three of them to get staff pick-up! They must have been the shining stars in the program and I'm sure you're very proud of him. Keeps him close enough for visits too. Congrats on his getting through the nuke pipeline.

Lanie and the kids got to Michigan yesterday and are at her mom's. Hopefully we'll get to see them today. Our baby granddaughter is just 4 months old and can't wait to give her some hugs and hold her. Of course, looking forward to the 6 year old boy too. Grandkids are the best!
