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 Proud Navy/NYPD Mom (Donna) on March 17, 2013 at 8:55pm: Hi prayforthesailors!! A packing party is when a group of Navy Moms (aunts, g'mothers, daughters, etc.) get together bringing items to pack care packages for forward deployed troops. We usually do packages for whomever the "adoptees" of the month are for Molly's Adopt A Sailor (aka MAS).

Molly's Adopt A Sailor is one of the groups in Navy for Moms. Official packing parties for the adoptees of the month have their shipping costs paid for by MAS. It is a fun group, if you are interested in joining.

We had our 1st combined Southern New England packing party in December. The moms came from CT, MA & RI (who responded, but then couldn't make it). It is a great way to meet fellow moms and make friends with women who really get what it means to be a military family.

Comment by prayforthesailors on March 17, 2013 at 2:10pm: Hello Moms, I am new to CT Navy Moms. I was wondering what a packing party is???

Comment by Proud Navy/NYPD Mom (Donna) on March 17, 2013 at 1:04pm: @ Marlene, could you do Harrington Hospital in Southbridge, MA -- right off Rte. 84? We can plan a date around you if you'd like. How about the 20th??

I think I read you are going on a missions trip. Where are you going?

Our church was talking about one this morning, but I'd have to have some major improvement in my knee and hip. But, maybe...?!

Comment by Proud Navy/NYPD Mom (Donna) on March 16, 2013 at 12:26pm: Anyone in CT interested in doing another packing party for southern New England?? I know who the Mom of the Month for April is & I know she will be wanting to make it as successful as possible. Let me know what you think. packing party will need to be in April and location is up for grabs. I didn't make it to the Dec. 1st party at Harrington Hospital because of knee problems, but if I'm not mistaken, didn't you have a good turn-out there?? I'm certain that we could get space there again. What are your thoughts? HELP...

Comment by MJ~ Erik's mom on March 15, 2013 at 11:36pm: Hi Donna,

I am sorry that I can't make it that day. I have a cooking class that I scheduled a while ago. Would love to meet you and the other ladies. Hopefully..next time! Have fun!

Comment by CTMom on March 15, 2013 at 9:09pm: I wish I could be there!! :( I won't be in town on the 13th. Please let me know when you have another one!!
