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 J Peder on May 9, 2015 at 1:31pm: Happy Mothers Day to all of you fellow Sailor Moms!!!
Hope you will all have a Great Day.
I will be heading out at 7am to watch my oldest son run in the 'Race for the Cure' at Southdale . Then the rest of the day who knows what.

Comment by MN Mom of MM on May 4, 2015 at 12:48am: This is what Jody Posted on fb: 3pm May 16 at Pinstripes in Edina. Make it a date with your favorite Navy moms.

Comment by MN Mom of MM on May 4, 2015 at 12:24am: JJ I think I saw Jody had put on facebook a suggested gathering date of May 16 at a location in Edina. II will find the info and if I am correct I will put that on here. I have 5 things happening that weekend so would not be able to make a lunch, but actually I think she had a late afternoon time listed too.

Comment by JJ on May 3, 2015 at 11:33pm: Hope that Amanda had an awesome birthday last week.

Let's think about getting together on Armed Forces Day. It will be after Mother's Day. Anyone interested??

Comment by MN Mom of MM on April 26, 2015 at 9:01pm: Midwest Navy Mom, I echo what JJ said tho I have only heard re-up once. I am so proud of all of our young men and women serving our country.

Comment by JJ on April 26, 2015 at 1:19pm: Congratulations on the good news of your son. Our young men and women ARE the future of our Country and how proud we ALL are that they have decided to serve our Country. After many, many re-enlistments, as a Navy Mom, I can only tell you that each time I hear, "I re-upped", I am just as proud as I was when I heard, "I'm in the Navy now!" Once again, congrats!

Comment by MidwestNavyMom on April 25, 2015 at 10:33pm: A co-worker, also a military mom, suggested I read "Be Safe, Love Mom. A military mom's stories of courage, comfort, and surviving life on the home front" by Elaine Lowry Brye. Ironic because that day we learned our son's re-enlistment was official. So proud of him and happy he likes what he's doing!!

Comment by J Peder on April 20, 2015 at 11:38am: It looks like you guys had a good time on Saturday. I was in attending a bridal shower in Wisc.Will hopefully make it to the next one.

Comment by JJ on April 18, 2015 at 4:57pm: Welcome Tangled Skeins to the Navy Moms! Please try to join us when we meet, to get to know other Navy Moms. We try to answer your questions and will be supportive. It is not easy for moms when their kids join the military. We have all been there! Please ask questions, someone will have the answer for you or we can point you in the right direction. Welcome again.
