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 Susan on June 20, 2011 at 3:56pm: I'm an hour north of Madison and an hour south of Stevens Point. I would be able to make it to Point, but it would require a tad more planning for Eau Claire. :) Either way, I look forward to meeting all of you!

Comment by Kris, Stevens mom on June 20, 2011 at 2:44pm: Moms attending the WI MOMS meet & greet we need some input...is Eau Claire to far to drive for some? would it much more of a distance than stevens point? how many families plan on attending?

thanks

Comment by Jen - Ship10mom(Div340) on June 20, 2011 at 1:32pm: Kris, thank you for your leg-work! Eau Claire is fine by me if you know of some better options there!

Can't wait to meet the WI N4M's!! :-)

Congrats on getting time w/ your Sailor!! Another Stennis mom - awesome!!

Comment by Kris, Stevens mom on June 17, 2011 at 2:18pm: I called the parks director for Stevens Point & asked him about parks, pavillions, etc. He mentioned Pfiffner I said we didnt want to pay if possible. He said at all the parks the pavillions (free/or cost) ususally get "saved" like by 6am. I said could we grab orphan picnic tables & put them together, etc...he said it wouldnt be an issue. So hard to coordinate when not familiar with area!

(We have so many more options in Eau Claire & alot are free)

I will try to find a detailed map this weekend & early next week post tentative plans. (my sailor is on leave before he reports to the Stennis so I'm trying to spend time with him).

Have a great weekend everyone.

Comment by Jen - Ship10mom(Div340) on June 17, 2011 at 1:40pm: Thanks Kris!

Comment by Kris, Stevens mom on June 16, 2011 at 2:26pm: Jen, I ahve a call into them.

thanks

Comment by Jen - Ship10mom(Div340) on June 16, 2011 at 11:50am: I was looking more at just the park itself, but I suppose using the building would maybe be an option? Although I would think there would be a shelter /area that would be free to use - free sounds better to me :-)

Sounds like a nice area with lots of choices... what do we think ladies??

Comment by Susan on June 8, 2011 at 2:54pm: Jen Thanks for the well wishes. Our daughter married a wonderful young man who is in the Air Force. The ceremony was beautiful.

I received the 15 second phone call last night around 11:00 p.m. Thanks to all of the veteran moms, I didn't expect anything more than, "I'm here, everything is fine, you'll be getting a letter in about three weeks."

Comment by Jen - Ship10mom(Div340) on June 8, 2011 at 11:20am: Susan - I totally hear you!! All those non-military families tried to tell me I should have been prepared, but they didn't get it :-) We get it, and we'll be here for you all the way! Congrats on your new son-in-law!!
