While there, complete your Profile so you can post and share photos and videos of your Sailor and share stories with other moms!

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 Proud Navy/NYPD Mom (Donna) on July 1, 2011 at 1:48pm: Hey Moms, DON'T FORGET TO VOTE FOR SPECIAL HUGS IN THE PEPSI REFRESH CHALLENGE!! You can use your power votes (the code under the yellow caps on Pepsi products, or the code inside the specially marked cases of cans of Pepsi).

We are going for $50K again! Need to win to keep having our postage paid for when we have a packing party...

You can vote 3 ways (& you'll get one vote for Special Hugs each time!!): Sign on using your email address, through FB, or by texting. Text 107637 to Pepsi (73774).

Come on everybody let's knock this one out of the park!

BTW, you can use any email addy you want, if you have work and home addresses you can vote using both. My hubby said I could use his email addy so that helps, too.

AND DON'T FORGET TO VOTE EVERYDAY. We are only in this for the month of July, so we win now or we are out of luck.
