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 May 16, 2015 at 10:31am: My meeting got canceled but I have a bad headache. We'll see, maybe if it lets up I'll come.

Comment by SaltyMama on May 16, 2015 at 9:33am: Thanks for letting us know about today but unfortunately I cannot be there. Hope to make the next one. Happy Armed Forces Day everyone.

Comment by JJ on May 13, 2015 at 12:49pm: I had to reflect a bit when I read the posting. I know for a fact that I cold pick out my son, even if I was blindfolded.

I just looked at my schedule and discovered that I can not be two places at the same time on Saturday! I will have to cancel in trip to Edina to have lunch with the Navy Moms. I had thought that it was at 1:00 NOT at 3:00. There is no way I can be in Elk River by 4:00 if I attend the luncheon. Sorry.

Comment by MN Mom of MM on May 12, 2015 at 10:34pm: MidwestNavyMom, that is an awesome way to start the day. I saw a photo after our sailor after his reenlistment half a world away, only it was the back of him sitting in the captains chair watching planes take off and land. Funny how a mom just knows the back of her kids head and shoulders.

Comment by MidwestNavyMom on May 12, 2015 at 6:42pm: Saw our son on his squadron's facebook page getting an award and then another post with pictures of his re-enlistment. Loved seeing pictures of him half a world away first thing this morning!!

Comment by MN_MOM on May 12, 2015 at 9:42am: Good morning to all the MINNESOTA Navy Moms.

Comment by JJ on May 11, 2015 at 11:22pm: Dang! The FB people scheduled on on Saturday in Edina and I was thinking of attending that one. Maybe next month, if someone (?) posts one on the north side.

Hope your birthday was as nice as mine was!!

Comment by MidwestNavyMom on May 11, 2015 at 8:50pm: Thanks for the birthday wish JJ! I'd be up for getting together Saturday. I have a meeting until noon'ish but could meet for lunch after that if anyone is interested.

Comment by MN Mom of MM on May 10, 2015 at 9:30pm: Believing all you Minnesota Moms had a very Happy Mothers Day. My sailor called with his special Moms day greeting at 7am. One happy mom here!
