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."

Connie,
Thanks!! I have been following the blue candle event since last Dec. But this event is blue candle moms not blue star moms which is why I didn't pick up on this event.
Wasn't there another mom in NC that was starting a Blue Star Moms group here towards the end of last year? I remember I wanted to attend but couldn't. I wonder if I can go back through some emails and find info on it.
I'll let everyone know if I find it!!!

Connie,
What event were you referring to? I can't find anything pertaining to Blue Star Moms or NC events!!

Spensmom,
Where and how did you get the bracelet?
-

Tina, I live near Friendly Shopping Center. Another "meet and greet" would be great!
I just recently got a woven bracelet with colors representing the Navy from Blue Star Mothers. My son noticed it right away. The bracelets are in memory/in honor of those serving in the military. You can get any color representing any branch of the military. Blue Star Mothers evidently do a lot of things for our troops like send cards, goodie packages, go visit in hospitals (VA, I assume) etc.
