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."

Cookbook status

Please note: In 2012, Linda, this group's creator, did a heroic effort and created a cookbook of our recipes that was sold to members as a fund raiser for Molly's Adopt a Sailor Project. That cookbook is no longer available. If anyone would like to volunteer to start another cookbook-publishing project, that would be great!

Comment by B'sNukeMoM⚓️MMN(Vet) on January 28, 2022 at 6:42pm: Also, once you're SR is through boot camp you can join the "Beyond Boot Camp" group. Chipmunk runs that group and she has a recipe discussion within her group.

Comment by B'sNukeMoM⚓️MMN(Vet) on January 28, 2022 at 6:40pm: Hi MH Navy Mom - as you see this group isn't active. And because the creator of the group - Linda - isn't on here anymore the group doesn't show up in the "Latest Activity" feed on the main page. If you'd like I can help you set up a new group and maybe more people will join and share in exchanging recipes.

Comment by MH Navy Mom on January 4, 2022 at 9:26am: Hello,

i noticed that the posts on this page are a bit old. Is this group still active? I would love to share recipes.

Comment by Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on December 2, 2016 at 1:18am: Hi new moms! This project last took place in 2012. I've emaled Linda and Joyce to see what the status is. Perhaps we can do a new one! In the meantime, it would be great to see some new recipes shared here. For example, I'm always looking for a good one-pot recipe! So if you have one, please post it here!
