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 January 17, 2013 at 9:04pm: My Winter schedule is usually really full with trips and other organizations that I belong to, so I try to make the Navy 4 Moms when I can. By the time I will see you all again, I will be needing a "Navy Mom" fix!! Keep in mind: April is coming up and it will be "Everybodies Birthday". We had a good time last year, hopefully we will have a good time this year as well. More info to come in March.

Comment by carol on January 17, 2013 at 8:54pm: I didn't post before because I wasn't sure if I could make it. And, I am sorry to say I can't get there either. I'm sorry, because I miss you all.

Comment by MN Mom of MM on January 17, 2013 at 5:11pm: I have not seen much response for the 19th to have lunch at Poor Richard's Commonhouse (near 494 and 100) 1: PM Saturday. I know Linda said her plans had changed and she would be at a bridal show. Judy also indicated there was a conflict for her. Who all are planning to join us? Or is a different day better for all/most of you?

Comment by Schafam Master at Arms Mom on January 12, 2013 at 11:03pm: Our son heads back to San Diego after 14 days home. We went out to SD last November, very nice you will love it.

Comment by MidwestNavyMom on January 12, 2013 at 9:09pm: Just got tickets to San Diego to see our son before he heads to Japan!! So excited. We haven't been there yet.

Comment by carol on January 11, 2013 at 11:41pm: Becky, can't wait to see the pictures when you get to a get to gether.

JJ, glad to know you still can go. Enjoy!

Comment by JJ on January 11, 2013 at 4:35pm: Carol....our Mystery Trip was canceled due to the "Storm" that hit Iowa! Ted said it was safer to return home and reschedule. I am planning another Mystery Trip for Feb!!

Comment by carol on January 11, 2013 at 1:23pm: JJ, do you get to go on your trip this month?

Comment by MN Mom of MM on January 11, 2013 at 1:40am: Hi Moms, I hae not seen much discussion here lately, but I think from what I have heard the 19th will work for a January gathering...provided the MN weather cooperates. I am wondering if the 1pmish works for everyone, or if you would like to try something like brunch. 9:30/10:ish at some place like a Perkins? This will be a first, but I will try to do the 'add a discussion' above

Comment by MidwestNavyMom on January 6, 2013 at 9:34pm: ISH-MOM - Yes I have. If I can figure out how to message you without it being on here I will :-)
