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."

Comment by Lois C T(momma T) on November 15, 2008 at 12:45pm: Has anyone been in touch with Joanne and Tom, haven't heard from them in a while. Hope all is well.

Comment by Lois C T(momma T) on November 15, 2008 at 12:43pm: well, come down next July!!!!!!! Or anytime!

Comment by Lois C T(momma T) on November 14, 2008 at 11:20am: okay, so which day Fri, or Sat. evening? or Sat. or Sun. afternoon??As soon as I get a majority opinion I will post it in events!!!(Cheryl, you could stay here overnight, Marc's room is vacant!!!!!) Marianne, can't you get NY moms to change their date??lol!!!!

Comment by Lois C T(momma T) on November 12, 2008 at 9:41am: Hi everyone, Let's try to plan another get together. Looking for suggestions, dates?
place?
I will host at my house(if everyone wants to come "all" the way to Snug Harbor).
I was thinking the weekend of Dec.13/14, either Sat. or Sun., even Friday evening would be okay. I could make a simple meal, or we could do pot luck, or even just desert and coffee(or any other beverage), Anthony and I are not drinkers, but we could certainly do wine and cheese, whatever!
Will wait for suggestions !!!!!

Comment by Lois C T(momma T) on November 10, 2008 at 4:14pm: Hi Alicia! Welcome!!! Great that you found us. My son is in Iraq, he is a seabee, and has been in for 2 years! Graduation is awesome, beyond description, just bring plenty of tissues! Get there early, so you won't miss out on the division shirts, hats etc. We didn't know anything about that, so we were too late. Also, you should look for any "meet and greet" events scheduled before the graduation, if you are in town you should go. We missed that also, and it would have been so helpful! I missed a couple of my son's calls from Iraq, I know how you feel, I keep his messages, so I can listen to his voice when I am realllly missing him.Hope to get to meet you at our next R.I.Moms/families get together!

Comment by Lois C T(momma T) on October 26, 2008 at 5:16pm: Hi all, I was just thinking about a hoiday/pre-holiday get together, are we going to meet again??

Comment by Lois C T(momma T) on October 7, 2008 at 9:47am: Hi All, I have just learned of a young man from Newport, R.I., who has joined the Navy, and he doesn't have any support, family or otherwise.( He is a friend of my best friends grandson) His name is Patrick Critz, I don't know if he is in boot camp yet, or what, I am trying to find out the details! Just wanted to ask you all to keep him in your thoughts and prayers.

Comment by Lois C T(momma T) on September 14, 2008 at 9:59am: Hi again, I can't find the comment about when our kids were "children". Help!

Comment by Lois C T(momma T) on September 14, 2008 at 9:35am: Hi all, it was wonderful meeting everyone yesterday! Looking forward to our next get together!!!

Comment by Lois C T(momma T) on September 12, 2008 at 1:14pm: Ok, just a reminder to all you R.I. moms, tomorrow 9/13 at 2 P.M. Cracker Barrel in Coventry! My e-mail is lolasnugharbor@yahoo.com if anyone wants to respond, or has questions. Looking forward to meeting you all!
