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 December 1, 2013 at 5:47pm: Welcome susaninmd! Last year this group "adopted" an expectant mom (and former Marine) whose Navy husband was deployed; we held a "virtual baby shower" and sent her all sorts of wonderful and helpful gifts. Their beautiful baby girl was born last June. Here's a photo of "our" baby this week celebrating a very happy Thanksgiving! :)

JBSA-Fort Sam Houston on Facebook: The U.S. Army Institute for Surgical Research is currently treating a 22 y/o active duty IED blast/burn patient from Afghanistan. Because of the extensive burns and trauma injuries, he must receive B NEGATIVE blood. This blood type only makes up about 2% of the population, so it's critical that we locate potential blood donors and ask them to donate.

For each trip to surgery he will require 10-15 units of blood/blood products (40 - 50 units per week.)

The Akeroyd Blood Donor Center, JBSA-Fort Sam Houston is asking all service members, family members, DOD civilians, or retirees with B NEGATIVE blood type to please contact the BDC at (210) 295-4655 or Mark Salcedo via email at mark.t.salcedo.civ@mail.mil. The center is open Monday through Friday from 7:30 am - noon for walk-ins.
