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 Karen H. on April 22, 2012 at 4:41pm: It has been awhile since I have been on here. How often do you ladies get together? Is there a regular group that gets together? I would love to meet some other others with husbands and kids in the Navy.

My son is half way through deployment and it seems like a long time since I have seen him. I did find out that the care package from Bloomington came from a group sending to the Gulf region.

Comment by mn linda (nuke MM ELT Groton CT) on April 21, 2012 at 7:53pm: Sorry I missed lunch. From now until September, we spend most weekends up here so it might be awhile before I can get to a lunch.

Comment by carol on April 21, 2012 at 6:59pm: Ladies, I really had a great time today. Thanks for the conversation and the laughs and the gifts. Hope you had as much fun as I did. Have a great rest of the weekend.

Comment by JJ on April 21, 2012 at 5:38pm: Birthday Wishes for all those that could not make it today! We had two Moms with birthdays in this month. We know who you are!!!! Once again we had a great time.

Here are the moms that attended today: Back row: JJ and Carol Front row: Amanda and Becky (hope the names afe correct)

Comment by mn linda (nuke MM ELT Groton CT) on April 18, 2012 at 10:38pm: We are going up to the lake for the weekend, so I won't be able to make the lunch on Saturday. We have to get stuff ready to put the boats in the water next weekend.

Comment by JJ on April 18, 2012 at 10:21pm: "Everybody's Birthday" is just a few days away! I hope that those that haven't got other plans for that day can join the rest of us. I have my exchange gift all wrapped and ready to go. Please see the above Get together date of April 21st for details.

See you there!

Comment by MN Mom of MM on April 10, 2012 at 12:10am: The 21st I am scheduled to be in Morton with my Sun Catchers. they have an event they call Garden Party. As a vendor I expect to demonstrate how I make the sun catchers, and I will have the new Mother's Love for sale, along with all of the designs I make.

What a bummer, I so enjoy getting together with you ladies.

Comment by JJ on April 9, 2012 at 9:17am: Hope that all had a wonderful Easter! Hope the moms are getting ready for "Everyone's Birthday" coming up on the 21st. Should be a good time for us.

Now....Please keep all the sailors save aboard the USS Enterprise as they get ready for another deployment.

Comment by MidwestNavyMom on March 29, 2012 at 9:19pm: Thanks for the prayers! Our Sailor is still home :-) He goes back this weekend.

Comment by NavyMomx3 on March 21, 2012 at 7:51am: MIDWESTNAVYMOM, I am sorry for your loss. I am so happy to hear your sailor will be home for the funeral.

I think my sailor was not allowed to come home for his Grandma's funeral because he was at bootcamp. (My #2 son who was in the Navy)
