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."

I just don't understand. I have not received an invite to the other group. I hate to say I feel left out but I know I haven't done or said anything that would have caused offense. I just want to be able to keep in touch with all the wonderful ladies. Plus I guess you could say it will be my turn as my daughter leaves for BC on Tuesday and I know that I will need all you help. Can someone fill me in please. I understand the underlying concepts but not the division.

Cindy22,
Sorry - lost your post there earlier. I'm with you - I miss my girl still so much. I'm sorry she had the fight with her roommate. I hope it doesn't make things harder for her.

Joanne,
You will be over in Pat's group with us won't you? Don't leave us - we will all be together in one great group.

mbville,
Welcome. We really are a great group of moms who are all here to help and support each other as we share the journey our daughters have taken.


I just sent out a group message to everyone with the link to Pat's new, original group. I will keep this group up for a few days to make sure no one gets lost.

Pat,
No - no more auguing. I'd like to have all our members under one roof - so let's all join your group - I've sent in my request awhile ago. I will keep this group open for a few days to make sure we don't loose anyone. I don't want our members to be divided.

Pat (Mom of Jenn),

I'm so sorry this is coming at you on top of all the other problems you are dealing with. The request you were sent was from Pat when she started up the Navy Moms of Daughters group tonight. There was the original group and then the group I started when Pat wanted to step down and now her new group. Let's all move over to Pat's group since she was the original to begin with.

OK everyone????

OK - you make this sound all so easy!!

I hope I'm able to do you proud - or at least just keep it up and running!!!!

I think I will name the new group Mom's of Daughters 2 so it will be just like the old one. I don't want to change too much because I don't want to loose anyone.
I'm going to go ahead and attempt to set this up tonight!!!

I don't want our members to have to try to keep up with two groups of the same people. That just wouldn't be fair to all of them. I'd like to all be under one roof.
I can keep this group up for awhile and make sure everyone gets switched over to your group. I appreciate all you've done for the Moms of Daughters and I've said that to you before. I'm sorry if someone was upset about the Nimitz discussion. Let's just join forces for all our sanities!!!!
