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!

Comment by Whit and Stephen's Mom (Ann) on January 31, 2014 at 1:11am: Staci - It's great how you are helping this veteran! A card will be in the mail tomorrow!

Comment by 2catsn2sailors on January 30, 2014 at 11:56pm: Thank you for sharing, Staci. I sent it the story to a whole bunch of people on Facebook--I didn't put his address on there, though.

If I send him a card,would he get it if he got moved to the veteran's home where he wants to be and should be?

Comment by Susan mom to Niko on January 30, 2014 at 1:14pm: Thanks Staci... my card is on its way!

Comment by Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on December 23, 2013 at 11:21pm: @ Mike'sMom, regarding your request - Please have your friend join this group: Norfolk Sailors Family and Friends. Here is a Norfolk contact for the Norfolk Navy Marine Corps Relief Society - Loretta Russell, (757) 322-1175 or email at Loretta.russell@nmcrs.org. And there is a local couple, John and Yvonne Wagner who are members of the Norfolk group and have "Open Bible Ministries." They open their home to sailors for Saturday dinner/game night and Sunday lunch, and will provide a ride if needed. Hope any of this helps!
