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."

She's also on facebook.

It was great meeting new moms/girlfriend today and visiting with "the regulars."

Comment by JJ on July 13, 2013 at 4:29pm: We had a wonderful time today! New moms, as well as a girlfriend! And of course, there were some regular attenders. (New word!! LOL) Here we are: Front Row: JJ, Megan, Amanda. Back row: Becky, Amy, Beth, Margo and Joan. It was great to meet the new ladies and hope that they can join us at other get togethers. A great bunch of women, all around!

Comment by DavesMom on July 13, 2013 at 12:46pm: Thanks, JJ. See you in a little bit!

Comment by JJ on July 13, 2013 at 12:17pm: DavesMom....Of course! We would love to meet her as well. The more the merrier!

Comment by DavesMom on July 13, 2013 at 12:11pm: Thanks for letting me know, Carol. Hope to meet you someday.

Comment by carol on July 13, 2013 at 8:51am: You can bring her. We have grandmothers come, or sisters also.

I can't be there, but I hope everyone has a wonderful time.

I'll miss you all.

Comment by DavesMom on July 12, 2013 at 10:27pm: I tried to post from my cell phone, but it looks different on cell and I think I accidentally started another discussion instead of posting here ... Is the get together tomorrow only for moms or would my sailor's girlfriend be welcome to come, too?

Comment by MidwestNavyMom on July 10, 2013 at 10:35pm: Napstersmom - Welcome! My son left for boot camp almost three years ago and I got so much support from this group and through Navy Mom's website when he was in boot camp... and beyond. It really helped. They understood, when not everyone else did. It's NOT the same as going away to college!! Hope you can make it Saturday.

Comment by carol on July 9, 2013 at 11:42pm: Good for you!

Hope everything is well with Eric Robert.

Comment by JJ on July 9, 2013 at 11:35pm: Carol...I am doing fine. (Now that I had to type that five times to get it right!!)

I am still awaiting word regarding Eric Robert. No news is good news. I am sure he will let me know if anything happens that I need to know. LOL I think he is still in Norfolk doing training.

Here's some good news: I went to the casino and brought home $97.50. Profit!
