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 tatmom4rc(Ship12, Div. 204) on July 28, 2014 at 6:43pm: Isn't there a USO at this airport. If nothing else, this is much better than hanging around the general waiting areas. Here in Denver it is in the area on the "open" side (before going through security) so they will need to look up a map of the airport and just take getting back through security in time for their flight. I hope they find something that works.

Comment by Laura on July 28, 2014 at 1:50pm: Unfortunately, I am too far from Laguardia...Im in NJ. Laguardia is in Queens, NY. There is a USO in Manhatten. Call there if you haven't had luck yet and ask what they can do....maybe they have arrangements with Local airport hotels!

Comment by jboysmom on July 28, 2014 at 10:23am: My sailor son, his wife and 2 daughters (ages 3yr. and 4mo) will have an 11 hour layover in New York at Laguardia. They don't have $ for hotel and plan to just rest/sleep in the airport. Anyone that knows anything about Laguardia airport that could help me let them know a safe place for them to spend the 11 hour layover that won't cost them a lot of money? Sure do wish they had an USO at Laguardia.

Comment by Paymaster on May 31, 2014 at 2:24pm: Good News! (CNN) -- Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, the American soldier held captive for nearly five years by militants during the Afghanistan war, has been released.

Comment by 2catsn2sailors on March 2, 2014 at 7:51pm: I'm glad it all worked out.

Comment by Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on March 2, 2014 at 5:34pm: He was driving from Washington DC to Norfolk on I-95, and there are some long stretches of nothing but woods in between exits as you go farther south. Even though he had USAA insurance with towing, I also gave him an AAA membership one Christmas and kept it up, figuring the extra peace of mind was worth it. He'd bought the car recently and the spare wasn't good so he needed towing. AAA came right out and he got the car to a Walmart - the nearest tire place - and all was ok. AAA is so cheap and it's so reliable. I think it makes a good birthday or Christmas gift :) aaa.com
