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."

Hello Pasadena Moms! I just joined this group to update you on a fundraising campaign we are currently running for the Single Sailors on the boat. We're raising money to create welcome boxes for when they arrive in San Diego. You can get more information and donate here. Thanks ladies! http://www.gofundme.com/4ngsj4

Good evening everyone. I've been reading previous posts on this site. I cannot stress enough the importance of OPSEC. Please watch the video on OPSEC in the tab at the top. No boat movement information should ever be posted under any circumstances. The privilege of boat movement information has been revoked in the recent past due to lack of OPSEC practice among families of sailors. I am sure no one wants that, so please remember OPSEC always. We are in the "silent service". Our Ombudsman is the only link to this privilege of information and it is only given in her physical presence or (within a 48 hour window) via phone tree message. I hope everyone has given their contact information to London Torres - our Ombudsman. She can be contacted at PasadenaOmbudsman@yahoo.com. She can also help squash rumors that you may be pondering as truths. Please keep your sailor and his safety as a number one priority.
I hope everyone has a wonderful night.

Kathy, My sailor got a jury summons back when the Pasadena was deployed. All I did was call the court house and told them that he was in the Navy and currently deep in the ocean somewhere. They said they would note it on his record and to thank him for his service.

I am so sorry to hear that Myles has to have additional surgery and hope that everything goes well. I know how it is to be away from them when they are ill. My older son is in the Army and has served three tours in the Middle East. Navy life is a new experience.

My son just reported to the boat. Do they get any time off?

Counting my blessings indeed...Myles thought he had a bad case of the flu...he was in bed all Sunday in pain...he managed to get to work on Monday morn(we think this is when the appendix burst, so the pain eased a bit). His Captain looked at him and told him to go see "Doc". Doc looked at him and said we have to get you to the hospital right away...there by probably saving his life. Wondering if any of you ladies could ask your sons what the full name of "Doc" is and Myles' Captain,,,,I would like to send them a note of thanks for their quick actions....
