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 November 25, 2010 at 10:00pm: Ruth, you are so right (as always!). I'm visiting my son in Portsmouth, and saw Summer Starr's request here about her son in Norfolk. We found her son on his submarine and delivered dinner - two roast chickens, mashed potatoes, homemade stuffing, brownies for dessert, plus apple cider to wash it down, plus paper plates, cups etc. Summer, your son is an outstanding young man and it was my privilege to meet him. Happy Thanksgiving!

Comment by momof2sailors on November 25, 2010 at 10:49am: Ruth VH,

Can you go take the 2 Sailors a meal?

Comment by greatmother on November 25, 2010 at 12:31am: If any sailors in New Orleans need to be Rescued please let me know. Send me a e-mail!

Comment by Rhonda8881 on November 24, 2010 at 11:36pm: I wish all of you (and your sailors/soldiers) a Blessed and Safe Thanksgiving Holiday.

Comment by MissMySailor on November 23, 2010 at 7:54pm: As a mother away from her son on Thanksgiving I am comforted with the thought that he will be going to NC with a shipmate for Thanksgiving and to spend the night in a comfy home. He just got into port at Norfolk on the USS Jason Dunham and I already texted him that he better call me on Thanksgiving so I can thank the parents who invited him. He is so excited to take the drive and see the country along with a big family get together. God bless you if you are reading this!!! Paula

Comment by gmmayo-A School mom(pir 2/11/11) on November 23, 2010 at 2:50pm: my sister lives in Gurnee (she sees the sailors all the time at the mall). anyway her church serves Thanksgiving dinner to the recruits so rest assured they get a nice meal!!

Comment by TexasDocMom on November 23, 2010 at 1:54pm: Austin Texas...my son coming up from Camp Bullis in San Antonio....

Comment by Jakesmom on November 23, 2010 at 1:45pm: I'm 2-1/2 hours north of Great Lakes, IL. If there are any sailors in A-School I'm close enough they can travel within the miles allowed without taking leave. Our home is open to any who want a family to share Thanksgiving with.

Comment by momof2sailors on November 23, 2010 at 4:52am: If there are any Sailors/Soldiers at NAS JRB in Fort Worth, TX that wants a home cooked meal for Thanksgiving our door is open.

Comment by Melissa mom of Chip on November 18, 2010 at 11:14pm: I am a Navy Mom in Springfield, Missouri and would just love to have a sailor or two at my home for Thanksgiving Dinner. I have 4 kids at home now but the more the merrier. I realize that Springfield is in the middle of the US but anyone traveling through and stuck for a time can call on me. I have a sailor in Nebraska and appreciate the Moms there.
