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!

this isn't your normal rescue post but it's a request for info. i have a question for the "veteran PIR moms" when my other daughter graduated my son and i drove up there so there was no concern about transportation. this go round we are driving a u-haul moving her husband, their stuff and her car there but are flying home. we don't know what will be going on with her so having her drive us to the airport isn't an option as neither is SiL (no license). any suggestions on how to get to the airport?

Since my daughter (last child left for boot camp this week) the house is empty. I am just outside of Richmond, VA and always willing to lend a hand if I can.

Hi Lydia! This group helps when folks post a specific request. If you want a wonderful experience sending care packages, please come join Molly's Adopt a Sailor Project on N4M. Each month they adopt a ship or unit, choose a theme and flood them with care packages according to their needs and wants. The group is like an ongoing party, very friendly and fun. This month the 'adoptee' is a Navy submarine with 160 aboard - July - Under the Sea!. When you join the group, introduce yourself and ask them to explain how it works. It's lots of fun!
Hi Marsha, good to see you here!! :)
