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 JJ on August 3, 2013 at 5:03pm: Welcome J Peder!!! Hope you will join us at the get together in one week. It will give you the oppertunity to meet some of the other Navy moms in the area. Hope to see you soon. Just remember to bring pictures and bragging rights.

Comment by J Peder on August 3, 2013 at 4:23pm: MidwestNavyMom I think we have something in common other than sons on the GW . My son was talking to yours and I think we all go to Mt. Olivet. The boys might not of been in confirmation together but I bet one of my 4 kids were with yours somewhere there. or if they ever were in the nursery on Sundays thats where you would find me( for the last 19 years). Small world. Son loves it and loved Australia

Comment by JJ on August 2, 2013 at 11:00am: The get together will be less than two weeks away! I hope that we have a HUGE turn-out since it will be at a different location. This is the great thing about picking the location, we can try different places, in hopes that we can get different moms to attend. It is only about 10 minutes from Northtown, so the travel distance is close! Easier for those on the far North side, St. Paul, and Stillwater areas. So let's support "Brian's Mom" and give this location a try. I hope that all is going well with those who we haven't seen for a while. Can't wait to see everybody!

Comment by carol on July 22, 2013 at 8:57pm: I know what you mean, NavyMomx3. Our oldest son got married on Saturday, and it was a great day, but it is nice to start to relax again. We had all our kids home, and the grandkids, and 15 of the 16 cousins there. It was Wonderful!

Have a great week, everyone.

Comment by NavyMomx3 on July 22, 2013 at 7:10pm: I'm sorry I missed the July Luncheon. But I'm glad the family reunion I had been working on and planning the last year is DONE! It was a success and I'm relieved.

Comment by bsb on July 20, 2013 at 11:26am: Hi everyone!

I want to get to one of the Saturday lunched to meet all of you! But so far the dates haven't worked for me. Soon I hope! Have a great weekend and enjoy our cooler weather,

Comment by AmyS on July 14, 2013 at 9:30pm: And thank you JJ for posting the picture!

Comment by AmyS on July 14, 2013 at 9:27pm: I really enjoyed the get together yesterday. Afterwards I went to my cousins daughters high school graduation party and when I got home I found my grandson there for a sleepover:) To Carol and MN Mom of MM, so glad you are seeing your sailors soon!

Comment by carol on July 13, 2013 at 11:30pm: I am glad you all had a great time. I missed being there.

Our sailor comes home this week for his brother's wedding. Can't wait.

Have a good Sunday!

Comment by MN Mom of MM on July 13, 2013 at 9:13pm: What a great looking group of wonderful Navy support. So sad I could not be there. Hopefully next time. We are excited to be having our sailor home on leave in about a week.
