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."

Thanks to the many moms and more that are here and ready to help when a sailor is in need! It is amazing to know that no matter where our sailors travel in the United States there is a mom there ready to rescue them with a hot meal, place to stay, or help to get back on the road!

Ok the person I am talking to just sent this mssg to me. Just so you know the person I am in contact with is a Army mom and a member of the PGR. (Patriot Guard Riders)
"I just got off the phone with Wyoming Highway Patrol -- they are sending an officer because they said that isn't a really safe place after dark. The dispatcher knows the area -- and, he was glad to help -- his son just got out after deploying with a Reserve Special Forces unit out of LA"
Marcy I passed on your info thanks
look like 90 is the only highway near Sundance
If I could get the sailors name and a cell number if he has one I have someone on the phone
Do we know what freeway he is on?
Googled and found this number for a repair and towing service in Sundance WY - (307) 281-0087 (a town of just 1200 residents!).
correction: I'm wrong.....it's a rest area 2 miles west of Sundance, Wyoming!
Saw this on facebook page can anyone help this Sailor

Help! My son is on his way back to Norfolk. He's at a rest area in Sundance, SD. He just put a new alternator in his Jeep and it's falling apart. Is there ANYONE nearby who can help him? The alternator is not charging, he has no heat, is in the freezing cold and has to be back in Norfolk by 7 am Tuesday morning! Help!
