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 MidwestNavyMom on September 17, 2011 at 10:19pm: It was great talking with everyone! Thanks for arranging it.

Comment by carol on September 17, 2011 at 8:26pm: Thanks, JJ. It was a fun time. Glad to have a chance to get together. Julie, don't forget to let us know about the shoulder.

Comment by JJ on September 17, 2011 at 5:55pm: What a wonderful time we all had getting to know each other during our luncheon. Sometimes we forget things (like Kelli who forgot her camera, which I now have) or we forget that we have met another mom before, but we never tire of talking about our Navy heroes. Thanks for showing off those pictures! Here we are: Ft row: JJ and Amanda. Back row: Julie, Carol, Kelli and Becky.

Comment by JJ on September 17, 2011 at 11:39am: Hope s many moms that can come to the luncheon today will. See you all there.

Comment by whoshero on September 14, 2011 at 3:08pm: Hi All. It has been too long since I've caught up with everyone. Took me back 8 pages but I think I'm up to speed. Crazy but I was reading about how hot you all were while I'm sitting here in a sweat shirt :) Welcome to everyone new and hi to those I've met before. My Seabee (sailor) is at Port Huemene, CA and after 3 attempts to get leave and have a wedding they have decided to wait and try again next year. Love those kids! He is currently preparing to leave for a 30 day field training and will deploy upon return. We haven't seen him since Christmas and it looks as if it will be quite some time before we see him again. Wish I could join you but will be working (missed my Sat. off by one week!). Hope to check in again sooner rather than later...have a great lunch.

Comment by pinkcubby on September 14, 2011 at 2:54pm: Welcome Kelly to the group. I am also a Kelli but with an "i" lol. My son is in A-School in San Antonio for Master of Arms. He will graduate October 14.

Comment by JJ on September 14, 2011 at 2:14pm: Welcome to the group! Try to catch a get together near you so you can meet the moms. I try to post the address (and town) so others know where it is. Minnesota is a big place! Hope this will be a group where you feel comfortable. We are a veried group with a wide range of opinions and have kids all over the place!!
