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 velvetlace on September 5, 2011 at 10:11pm: I just found this group. My son is a new corpsman. I have an old Navy wives cookbook, which was my mom's, and it is called Plum Duff. I will try to read as much on this site as I can in the next week or so, so that hopefully I will contribute intelligently and positively to this worthwhile endeavor.

Comment by carols_kitchen on August 30, 2011 at 7:10pm: Harriet--thanks for the idea. I'll work on that with our little itty bitty newspaper, too.

Comment by Harriet (USMC son on Green Bay) on August 30, 2011 at 6:46pm: Linda and I have been collaborating on getting the word out on cookbook sales using our FB pages. If anyone else would like to do so, here is what I did--alter personal info to suit your situation. Keep in mind FB has limited characters on your status, so you will need to break up your entry and put the first part in your status and the 2nd in 'comment'.

Hi Facebook Friends!

While Aaron has been a Marine aboard a Navy ship during his deployment I have taken part in the group www.navyformoms.com . Many of us banded together to send in recipes for a cookbook that is currently at the printers. There are hundreds of recipes in this book, probably 30 of them mine. The profit from the cookbooks goes to www.mollysadoptasailor.com and

Comment by Jean-9 ship07div113 on August 26, 2011 at 11:41pm: Linda, The book is going to be So special. You have made our recipes into a wonderful tribute. There are no words big enough to express my appreciation for the work you've done. Now its our turn. Is it better if we sell the books and send in one order with one check? I've been collecting orders and will send you an order and check in a few weeks. Thank you again!
