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 Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on August 16, 2012 at 12:32am: Look who's chillin' :)

Comment by Whit and Stephen's Mom (Ann) on August 9, 2012 at 10:47am: Thanks for "our" baby update! She is so sweet!

Comment by Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on August 5, 2012 at 6:13pm: I have an awesome announcement about helping our deserving sailors this month!

This month's adoption is of the 625 junior enlisted sailors aboard USS IWO JIMA currently in the middle of an eight month+ deployment in areas of the Middle East, Africa and Europe. The video, below, will introduce you to these sailors.

It’s a daunting number of sailors this month so your help is super-appreciated. Visit / join Molly’s Adopt a Sailor group and then see the August details and Wish List here. You’ll be invited to join a private MAS group for the mailing address. We’re mailing the last week of August. The goal is to send USPS large priority boxes packed with personal care items the ship store runs out of, homemade treats, and games. We are mailing the last week in August.

Molly’s group adopts a unit or ship each month, so you can nominate yours for future adoptions, too. If you organize a packing party your mailing costs will be covered (ask for details at MAS, there is a format to follow); and I can also get you a donation letter to help with soliciting items.

It’s a longer than normal deployment, so thank you for sending ‘a touch of home’ :)
