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."

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!

To be added to the list send me (Susan mom to Niko) a friend request. Then you can send me a private message with your name, location and phone number. Then you are added to the list!

Comment by duhhuh58 Ship 10/Div 267 on December 7, 2012 at 4:36pm: Same here!! I'm in NC, on the Outer Banks. I'm about 2 hours from the bases in Norfolk and Dam Neck. I've already adopted one, the more the marrier. Have the room and as long as they don't mind a dog, hit and miss cat, and always kids (over 18 crowd) my house is open. have one that uses it to run away every once in a while.

Comment by Katze90210 (3/113) on December 7, 2012 at 8:05am: Carolyn ditto but in NJ. My light is always on. Day or night. Home cooked meals, warm bed, and more. Good point they can stop for a rest and refuel or stay for the holiday. Friends and families welcomed. I'm in centeral Jersey. Middlesex county. So spread the word. They can play connect the dots with all the safe and warm houses we have spread through out the US

Comment by Katze90210 (3/113) on November 18, 2012 at 9:21am: Susan Mom to Niko, sent you a friend request, would like to send you my info so if there ever are any Sailors in the NJ area in need of a home cooked meal or place to stay, my light is always on!

Comment by Paymaster on November 11, 2012 at 9:44pm: This is what I have been doing in my spare time. This has been my personal christmas project. I was able to make and donation 35 revieving blankets and 42 burp clothes to the local women's shelter that helps young mothers with children. Hope I am able to do as many and perhaps a few more next year.

Comment by Whit and Stephen's Mom (Ann) on October 12, 2012 at 7:28am: I love hearing such happy stories!!!

Comment by Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on October 11, 2012 at 10:06pm: Hi mamas, I shared your comments with Misty and here's her response!

"Let them know I think of them too! It was hard to become pregnant and then have Aaron leave for a deployment, I never planned it that way. It was our only baby together, and my last. But knowing so many were thinking about us, and getting suprises in the mail made every day a little easier. Tell them all I said thank you!! Misty"
