OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

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 Susan mom to Niko on March 14, 2010 at 1:19pm: Gotcha changed Kathleen... thanks so much for updating!

Comment by Rhonda8881 on February 15, 2010 at 6:12pm: Happy Mardi Gras everyone!!!

Comment by Rhonda8881 on February 15, 2010 at 6:06pm: Thank you Gloria! Happy Valentine's Day to you.

Comment by Susan mom to Niko on February 3, 2010 at 2:48pm: Hey all! Thanks for gathering those letters... be sure to get them in the mail soon! There is a big change coming for the first ships that arrived... time for others to take their place and continue the mission. Our Chaplain 'Fish' is working with the other Chaplains to share the letters that arrive! If you are sending a big group of letters to just one specific ship please let me know so we don't attempt to cover them also. I am trusting that Chaplain "Fish" and his network have all well in hand to make sure every sailor is supported! Thanks again!

Comment by Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on February 1, 2010 at 6:40pm: Ashley, take a look at http://www.care.com You can enter your zip code and see who is looking for a nanny or child care in your area. You can also click the link "Are you a care provider?" and enter your information. Good luck!!!

Comment by Lois C T(momma T) on January 24, 2010 at 8:47pm: Hi, is anyone out there near Atlanta, my son is travelling from R.I. to Gulfport and is stuck in Atlanta until tomorrow, no flights out. It will be a long night for him.

Comment by Susan mom to Niko on January 21, 2010 at 4:54pm: CALLING ALL MOMS! Here is a chance to let ‘our’ sailors know how much we love and support them! If there is one thing every Navy mom learns during boot camp it is to write a great letter!

Will you please write a letter or thank you card to a Sailor aboard the USS Carl Vinson which is conducting humanitarian and disaster relief operations? Our goal is to send over 5,000 thank you cards to Chaplain ‘Fish’ by February 10th! He will distribute the cards and letters we send to the crew on the Vinson and the other Navy ships; the USS Bataan, USS Nassau and USS Comfort headed to provide support to Haiti!

Contact your local schools, scout groups and churches! Collect as many thank you notes and cards and send them along! The best (and most cost effective) way to send them might be a flat rate box offered by the Post Office! Let these sailors know that you are proud of them and say thank you for all they are doing!

For the address of Chaplain ‘Fish’ please contact me with how many cards you have gathered and I will be happy to provide the address! Let's show them just how proud we are of them!

When the USS Carl Vinson pulled out of Norfolk January 12th on the way to their new homeport of San Diego they were singing ‘California Dreaming’. That night a devastating 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck Haiti and their destination changed. The Vinson was one of the first ships able to respond. We have all watched the news and seen the pictures. But can you imagine what it is to be at sea for the first time and called to duty in such an important mission? To feel the 95+ degree heat, experience the cry for help and pain, see the devastation up close?

Many of our sailors are boots on the ground and many more are providing support for them. Those sights and sounds will stay with them forever. The United States Navy has prepared them to do their jobs, and let's face it; we know they are the best of the best.

These sailors are pumping over 3,500 gallons of water a day to deliver to quake victims, launching well over 600 flights of aid and rescue from their deck, providing security and caring for many injured. They have given of themselves… working long hours, catching sleep when they can. Here is our chance to let them know how much we appreciate all they are doing!

Comment by BunkerQB on January 19, 2010 at 1:26pm: There has been a troll denigrating our Navy. I just posted a blog. I would like everyone to add their thanks to their own son/daughter (no names please) for serving in the Navy.
Here is the link to the blog: We the People of the United States. Click on link.
I am monitoring the comments because I don't want that troll to sully it.

Comment by Susan mom to Niko on December 31, 2009 at 2:04pm: so happy to hear the good news!

Comment by Susan mom to Niko on December 30, 2009 at 1:50pm: Debra... know that we are looking for the great news that your sailor is healing! I know that you have probably worn a path in the floor pacing with worry. We are here to support you!
