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 June 24, 2012 at 7:35pm: Ten days until "our" baby's due! Mom is feeling great, and dad-to-be heads for home in a few days. Think baby'll be early, on time (we hope), or make us wait??

Comment by Minette on June 19, 2012 at 10:38am: Hi everyone;)

To anyone that lives or knows someone that lives in New York City:

A Navy friend and mom Karen, needs help for her son Erik, a Corpsman, who needs a place to stay from July 1 through August either in Brooklyn NY or near train lines B,Q,N,R,A,C,F,2,3,4,5 in other boroughs that will stop near the school he will need to attend in Brooklyn, NYC College of Technology located on 300 Jay Street.

Erik needs a private room with a bed and a desk (if available) and his budget is 800 a month.

I have sent out invitations to a group on Facebook called "Erik Needs a Room" so that if you have any info you can post on that page or simply send me Minette R Drew a private message here or on Facebook if you have info that will help Erik find a room.

If anyone on my list knows someone in NYC, can you ask around so we can get Erik a room for July and August? I know his mama and she is a really sweet lady and her son is a responsible nice young man ;)

Thanks for anything you can do for Erik. Will send more info privately if you need it.

Comment by momof2sailors on June 19, 2012 at 12:05am: Maddie grandma to AK,

What I would suggest she do is go talk to management at the complex and explain the situation. They would/should let her extend in order to get the move completed. She should not have to deal with crap like this. Paperwork gets lost all the time. Also there should be something that his command can do in order to help with the situation. Where there is a way there is a will. But she or your grandson should get in touch with the command ASAP and light a fire under them to get the paperwork done correctly.

Comment by Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on June 18, 2012 at 9:40pm: Maddie, this is a terrific N4M group - PCSing/Moving Pop over there, join up and describe your grandson and wife's situation and see if you can get some answers/help from the members.

Comment by JackFlash on June 18, 2012 at 8:47pm: Howdy all...

Dad of a future sailor... And we live in San Diego, so if there is ever anything I can help with, just shout!

Comment by Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on June 18, 2012 at 2:05pm: BABY UPDATE!! - the Fourth of July is getting close! And daddy will be starting the trek for his visit home soon. Misty needs the addresses again of Ann and Maddie - boxes got messed up - so if that's you, please PM me your address as she's sending out cards today :)
