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."

OPSEC, OPerational SECurity, is always of the utmust importance. Please take the time to read the Opsec and Community Guidelines. A quick note here: Last Names are never allowed on this site. If it is different from your Recruits it is still not recommended. First Names and pictures of your Recruit are allowed but discouraged as their RDC's read this site and can easily match them up with their "mom". So you might want to consider changing your profile picture.

Comment by WandaG on November 17, 2011 at 6:27pm: It's nice to see the messages coming thru as the moms arrive :o) we are just relaxing in our room now in Springhill Suites. This is a very nice location; walking distance to all the stores especially Walmart+ the Sundance Saloon for the Meet+Greet tonight. The room is very nice. It reminds me a little of the Hyatt in Mystic, CT. I am very pleased with my choice. I hope everyone makes it to Sarge's Meet+Greet tonight. I'm looking forward to meeting everyone. FYI, a great place to have breakfast+lunch is Wildberries. It's a beauiful establishment, nice environment, great service, great menu selection+ best of all reasonable prices. The average plate is less than $10. It's located in Libertyville.

Comment by Stella on November 17, 2011 at 6:14pm: We are here! Great trip so far! We are attending the meet and greet at the ramada saddleridge tonight. We rode by the rtc...very impressive.

Comment by cmhs13 on November 17, 2011 at 6:07pm: We are finally here!!! Can't wait for tomorrow. Anyone still traveling I pray you have safe travels!

Comment by WandaG on November 17, 2011 at 4:59pm: I am with Sarge right now. We just finished having lunch together. He's a great guy. He's given us so much info so far. His code name for Navy for Moms is "Old Sarge". Remember to attend the Meet+Greet tonight at Sundance Saloon. I hope to see u all there!

I'll be the one with the droopy eyes tomorrow am. Kids had school so no chance in leaving earlier. See you all in the am. I wish we could have made the M&G. Have fun all!

Comment by diannep on November 17, 2011 at 4:27pm: They will look STUNNING in their blues....trust me!

Comment by diannep on November 17, 2011 at 4:26pm: Thanks, aschalk. He would be coming from the shipyard to the airport. A bit further. I will see about airport connection...will see if they go to the shipyard too. Thanks!

Comment by diannep on November 17, 2011 at 3:05pm: aschalk: Hey, since you are in the Norfolk area, do you know of a cab company from Newport News (Huntington Hall) to the Norfolk Airport that is cheaper than another??? Where is SARGE when we need him?? HA! Wish Norfolk area had a "SARGE!"

Comment by Gette on November 17, 2011 at 2:55pm: Got in to Great Lakes about 9:30 am, left TN last night at 6 pm. Not to bad a trip till Chicago, gotta find a different way to O'Hare and home. I do not want to drive through Chicago again, unless it is way before 6 a.m.

Navy Lodge is quite nice, but had to pay to get internet in the room - boo. Have homework to get sent in this afternoon so had to get it. Oh well.

I will see those of you in town this evening at M&G, everyone else - see you in the morning.

Comment by WandaG on November 17, 2011 at 7:09am: Good Morning Ladies, I'm up and getting ready to take my shower, get dress + drive to the airport. Have a safe trip everyone!
See you all there! God bless.
