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 carol on October 22, 2012 at 9:00pm: How wonderful that you could see and do that!

Comment by NavyMomx3 on October 22, 2012 at 7:36pm: While I was in Hawaii for work, I was able to see my sailor briefly and I mean briefly. But it was WONDERFUL to get a few hugs in. It meant the world to me. He looked so handsome in his uniform. He also looked very tired, VERY tired. The FRG president contacted me at home and our family was able to put together a package for him which will brought on his boat before his deployment.

Comment by carol on October 14, 2012 at 7:44pm: Good job on picture, JJ.

Comment by MN Mom of MM on October 14, 2012 at 1:10am: Sorry to have missed the gathering, will try for November. Great picture of you beautiful Navy Moms.

Comment by Schafam Master at Arms Mom on October 13, 2012 at 11:10pm: Love the picture ladies, I will make it to another get together, hopefully soon

Comment by JJ on October 13, 2012 at 6:37pm: What a wonderful time we all had today! Holly brought her daughter and we had a new Navy Mom, Stacy, also join us. Welcome! For those of you who could not come today, we are planning another get together for November. Watch for the posting in the near future. The Navy moms that attended today, from left to right: Stacy, Holly, Julie, JJ, Amanda, and Carol. Hope all the names are correct.

Comment by JJ on October 8, 2012 at 12:03pm: Here's a way of figuring that out: 15 minutes prior to pushing off of the pier plus driving time from the restaurant to the pier. Then let everyone know what time you have to leave and the other moms will make sure you are on your way in time to make the boat! If that doesn't work.....we will miss you. Hope it works out for you.

Comment by mn linda (nuke MM ELT Groton CT) on October 8, 2012 at 11:43am: I'm still hoping to make it Saturday, but we have a nephew's engagement party to go to at 3pm and it is on a boat so can't be late. haven't figured out yet if I can do both.

Comment by JJ on October 8, 2012 at 11:30am: Just a couple of days before the October get together! Hope we have a lot of moms there. Love to catch up on our Navy Kids and see how they are doing! See you then. I should be back from Kansas before 1:00!

Comment by JJ on September 18, 2012 at 2:51pm: We always have such a great time at these get togethers!! We are treated very well by all the staff there. The location is listed in the above Discussion Forum for October. Oh...I guess Carol already said that! LOL Sorry. Hope you can make it. Would love to meet you in person!
