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."

Annual DEP Family Potluck Invite, Nov 2009.doc

I have set up an event for the DEP Potluck, please RSVP and feel free to call me if you have any questions! I'm looking forward to catching up with old friends and meeting new ones!!!

Comment by Melissa (Tucson) on October 6, 2009 at 11:19pm: Lori: Have your son give you the email address for the ship's ombudsman. The ombudsman will keep you informed of all homecoming events such as how to get on base, the pier #, etc. You might find the ombudsman email address by going to the ship's website.

Comment by Sue-Pillowcase lady on October 6, 2009 at 12:45am: Hey Tucson moms, Mary from Florida is working with Uno's Chicago Pizza on a "sailor" drive for supplies for Molly's adopt a sailor project. They will collect supplies that we can mail to the sailors. Molly will need moms in every city to pick up the stuff and mail.
Is anyone interested in doing that? There's an Uno's on Oracle, close to El Conquistador. My plate is pretty full with HAE, so thought I'd throw out to you all.
Check out Molly's page on the main thread.

Comment by Sue-Pillowcase lady on September 25, 2009 at 12:07am: okay, I couldn't remember what his rank was.

Comment by Melissa (Tucson) on September 24, 2009 at 11:52pm: Shawn was just pinned a Chief Petty Officer last week. So now you can call him 'Chief White'. He's not an officer, he's enlisted.

The DEP Zone Meeting will be held at Ramada #19

Comment by Sue-Pillowcase lady on September 24, 2009 at 11:46pm: and if anyone is in the mood for alittle day trip in Saturday, take a drive to Sahaurita. The town is having a festival-lots of happenings and I'll be there too.

Comment by Sue-Pillowcase lady on September 24, 2009 at 11:45pm: I wonder if Scott Kilbury will do it.
Melissa, I met recruiter White yesterday. I stopped in to get some carrier posters and he was very helpful. He asked me if I knew you and I said that I did.
My boy came to one of the afterschool care programs that I work in while he was here. I brought in my toy aircraft carrier and we (the kids) made carriers out of "treasures" -trash really, that I collect. They turned out great, Ben made them paper airplanes and towers.
Anyway, I said I would give an emblem from the Blue Blasters away that day, but my husband wouldn't let me! yikes, talk about egg on your face.
So I got them some carriers posters-really nice about 8 1/2 x 11 and handed them out yesterday. Officer White was so nice and helpful.

Comment by Melissa (Tucson) on September 24, 2009 at 11:30pm: Laura & Joyce: I just got off the phone with Scott and if KOLD wants a spokesperson for N4M you have my number. If they want recruiting info or stats, I'll refer them to Scott.

There is a DEP Zone Meeting Saturday October 3rd, Reid Park, 9am. I'll post the ramada # tomorrow!!

Laura, thanks a million for setting this up!

Comment by Sue-Pillowcase lady on September 15, 2009 at 11:34pm: I will be tied thru the end of the month. lots of football team pillowcases to make once the fabric arrives, sewing for craft fair. But don't plan around me.
