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 Navymassmomship13div313 on September 1, 2012 at 12:41pm: Hello I am new to this, my SR graduates 9/28. How do I go about to purchase all the editions if possible?

Comment by Joyce-Scott'sProud Mom on August 13, 2012 at 9:17am: Thank you all who sent me the info on getting online to enter recipes. I was away over the weekend so I have not checked it out but hopefully I will do so some time today. Have a great day!

Comment by Joyce-Scott'sProud Mom on August 10, 2012 at 10:06pm: Hi everyone, I am still figuring out the site and all it has but I am always interested in cookbooks and new ideas and recipes. I know we are all in different areas and different stages of the Navy life and it is still early but do you happen to exchange recipes for the Holidays? If there is interest I would be glad to help pull this together. With people from different places and backgrounds we could collect a real variety of recipes for the holidays. Any thoughts? Look forward to being part of the group. Enjoy your weekend, my son is on the USS Enterprise and we reside in Florida.

Comment by Reilly's Mom on June 14, 2012 at 1:51am: I noticed that you said that you don't have anymore copies of edition #1 cookbook left. Are you going to be getting anymore? Because if each edition has different recipes in them I would like to order them all.

Comment by wismama (CS mom) on March 29, 2012 at 9:32pm: Just wanted to say thanks. Got my cook book today and it is awesome. Nice variety of goodies.

Thanks again!
