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 KathyMmom on April 13, 2012 at 1:02pm: There are services that deliver packaged meals that you can reheat. It's not Lean Cusine, but very nicely prepared and delivered to your door. We did this for my mother-in-law for a bit and she really enjoyed it very much.

Here is one example:http://dinnersdeliveredasheville.com/

I would be more than willing to set up a few meals to be delievered to her once the baby is here. This won't be so much of checking on her, but at least we can make sure she is well fed!

Comment by Pat L. in IL on April 13, 2012 at 11:45am: You guys are amazing! I will send a message to the Ombudsman and get more information. Mainly what she was looking for was someone to maybe bring the mom some meals after the baby is born and just check in on her for 2-3 weeks. Thank you all for being so kind and I will let you know when I hear back from the Ombudsman.

Comment by Paymaster on April 13, 2012 at 9:16am: I would be interested in a Baby shower!

Comment by KathyMmom on April 13, 2012 at 1:17am: How fun a Navy Mom baby shower would be!! Count me in - can somebody get her address and then maybe we could coordinate a date so we could all send something, even just a card at the same general time?

Comment by MarianneKT's Mom on April 12, 2012 at 10:15pm: Agree - It would be great to help out.

Comment by JM-ISmomx2 on April 12, 2012 at 10:04pm: Include me too. It would be great to know if she is having a girl or boy. Showering her with Navy Mom kindness sounds wonderful.

Comment by Whit and Stephen's Mom (Ann) on April 12, 2012 at 7:33pm: Lisbeth - What a great (and fun) idea! Keep me posted if this happens! I would love to be involved.

Comment by Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on April 12, 2012 at 2:47pm: Pat, how about posting in the N4M North Carolina Moms group? I would but you have the ombudsman info.

Comment by Pat L. in IL on April 11, 2012 at 10:22pm: Are there any moms in the Asheville, NC area? I received a message today from the Ombudsman for the Greenville. There is a wife of a sailor that is due to have a baby in July and needs some support.

Comment by Susan mom to Niko on March 31, 2012 at 5:15pm: You all make me so proud! Wht a great loving group of moms we have across the US! We are all united in wanting the best for our sailors!
