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."

Hi all, I am not a TX mom but I have joined your group because I want to help the Reynolds family in any way I can. I am sure some of you probably know me already. I have been on this site for over a year helping families going through the boot camp experience and making ribbons to wear to PIR. I am a member of 3 Facebook Navy Mom groups and we all want to help. We would like to have an address to be able to send cards and money. We prefer to do that so that 100% of what we send will go to help this young man. My heart breaks for him and my prayers are with him daily. If someone could private message me the address I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks so much, Lora

Another note - there is going to be a Navy Week in San Antonio the last week in October. They are going to contact us to see if anyone is interested in being involved and eating lunch with some "big wigs" in the Navy? Anyone interested?

All - first Yea for our new Sailor!!! Enjoy PIR!!
Next, thank you to ANYONE who steps in and finds a way we can help. I suggest each of us sending our own card (who wants to open 20 of the same thing) - and just be sure to sign it with something saying Navy for Moms.
