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 mariecb on February 5, 2015 at 4:47pm: J Peder - how did you make it 2 1/2 years? My sailor son is deploying soon for about 9 mos.they say and I am looking for ways to count down the time. Any ideas?!

Comment by MN Mom of MM on February 3, 2015 at 10:35pm: J Peder Soak up every minute you have with your sailor. Looking forward to hearing all about it the next time we see you. I will check in on the location for the 21st and post it here. 1 month ago today my sailor was here and married his beautiful bride. My how time zips by.

Comment by SaltyMama on February 3, 2015 at 12:05pm: Oh my gosh.... J Peder.... 2-1/2 years! That's a long time. You will have a great day :) Please take pictures of the reunion and the reaction on your daughter's face when she sees him! I'm tearing up over here...

Karen - glad for you too as you are seeing your son after a deployment! Hope you are enjoying your time with him.

Speaking of the group meeting on February 21 - any word on the location yet? Post it here if you know! Thanks :)

Comment by J Peder on February 3, 2015 at 10:39am: Yahoo ,
Today is the day my sailor comes to visit from Japan. We haven't seen him in 2 1/2 years so I am feeling pretty excited about him being home for 28 days. Of course I suppose I will have to share him with family and friends.
We are going to pick him up than go and surprise his sister and her class of 3rd graders. She thinks he won't be home until April.
Keeping a secret from her has been hard for the last 3 months even harder the last few days.
Have a great day everyone. because I certainly will !!!

Comment by Karen H. on February 3, 2015 at 9:11am: Hi ladies I have not been on here for a while. My son returned from 2nd deployment so enjoying some time with him and family. It is good to see a group forming and a time set to meet each month. I would like to meet you all.

Comment by MN_MOM on January 19, 2015 at 6:29pm: I am sorry I missed it. I ended up getting unexpected company.

Joyce and anyone else, if you are wanting to find the Facebook page, please look for me and request to be my friend and I will add you to the group. Jody Straw Jarmuzek

Hope to see you all next month. I am putting together a map of where everyone lives, if you would like to be included, please send me a message with your name and town.

See you all Feb 21.

Comment by JJ on January 18, 2015 at 2:14pm: Great picture! Looks as though everyone had a great time.

Comment by J Peder on January 17, 2015 at 10:29pm: Nice little group for today at Cowboy Jacks.
And even though I wrote down the FB page for the Minn Moms if I search.. nothing comes up. Any ideas or is it a really private group
