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 MN Mom of MM on April 22, 2018 at 12:10am: Oh you ladies look fantastic. The craft show was good and along with sales I made some new contacts for possible shows in the fall. But I miss that Navy Mom connection. I look forward to the next time I can lunch with you.

Comment by SaltyMama on April 21, 2018 at 9:44pm: Hi ladies, we had a great time today at the annual Navy Mom birthday party. Hope more of you can join us next year. It's always the third Saturday of April. Stay tuned for future get-togethers. We will try and coordinate this one with the Facebook group. Pictured from left to right sitting: Margo (SaltyMama), and JJ. Standing L to right, Carol and Amanda.

Comment by carol on April 13, 2018 at 12:08am: Hi Ladies!! Finally remembered to find my password to reply!

I'm planning on the 21st...if there is no snowstorm:)

Is it at the Perkins that we have gone to in the past?

Looking forward to seeing you all!
