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."

Comment by Brenda Sue on February 17, 2011 at 6:59pm: Welcome Katy! Sorry, mine left from Houston over three years ago!

We are here for any questions or concerns.

P3PilotMom, I am part of the A school in San Antonio. People are always asking questions in there. Such as what hotel to stay, what taxi service, where to eat, etc. Why don't you join that group to help out?

Thanks!

Comment by KellynKaty(corps-Mom) on February 17, 2011 at 3:22pm: Hi everyone..I was wondering if there was anyone leaving Houston for bc on March 28th. My son is leaving and thought it would be nice to have a texas buddy to travel with..

Thank you..

Comment by Alysia-Redsmom (VQ-4/ATO) on February 17, 2011 at 10:37am: Howdy TX ladies.....

Comment by P3PilotMOM on February 17, 2011 at 9:06am: I am in San Antonio, so if there is ever a need just let me know... airport pickup, your kid just needs an escape. We generally leave for holidays, but I will check in and see if there is a group who want a get-away.

Comment by Matt's Mom/Cathy on February 16, 2011 at 11:52pm: Great- I hope the fabric comes through. I went Sunday and bought a few yards then went to Joanns today and bought some remnants and several yards of solids. Debbie V. from Silsbee can't make it because she is taking a quilting class but wants me to come by tomorrow and pick up some 3" and 10" bands she has cut and she offered to sew if we get some matched up for her.

Comment by Brenda Sue on February 16, 2011 at 11:11pm: Matt's Mom - I'm still trying to get that fabric from southeasttexas.com.

I have talked to them a couple of times and they are giving me some at $1 a yard - just need to connect.

I also have to bake - but will probably do that Friday night (and "make" Donna help) :)

I got a friend to come over today and change the sheets, dust her room and clean the bathroom. barring no plumbing problems this time - house is as ready as it is going to get!

Comment by Matt's Mom/Cathy on February 16, 2011 at 10:40pm: Welcome Jocy's Mom!

Comment by Brenda Sue on February 16, 2011 at 8:47pm: Yea, Sarah!! Yes, there is a group for San Antonio - MA's mostly. I'm there all the time also!

Welcome, Jocy's Mom! Any questions or concerns we are here for you!

Comment by sarahw1961 on February 16, 2011 at 7:46pm: Hey guys - does anyone know if there's a group for moms with kids stationed at San Antonio? My son is coming home to Texas this summer!!!! YEAH!!!! He'll be in San Antonio - I have some family down there, but wanted to know if there's a group for SA. I'm part of the Ft. Mead group right now - where's he's stationed now.
