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 13, 2012 at 9:11am: So sorry to hear about your job! That must be very hard after coming back from such a happy time away. Good luck as you find a better job than the one that let you go! I'm sure it will "serve them right".

Still up for a packing party? I'll be glad to help you get started. We just finished one a few weeks ago. I think MA Moms are waiting for April? But I don't want to step on anyone's toes, since I'm a visitor in your CT group of Moms. If you want to talk about it send me a PM and I'll send you my phone so we can talk live, or we can just write. It would be exciting for all, I think. And we have MA Moms in the western part of the state who may want to join you too.

Comment by Valtameri on March 12, 2012 at 9:51pm: I'm sorry about your job, Flyer. You weren't at the parade this year, were you?

Comment by Proud Navy/NYPD Mom (Donna) on March 12, 2012 at 12:01pm: Me too, Flyersnut!

Comment by Valtameri on March 11, 2012 at 11:04pm: Hi everyone! How are things?

Flyersnut, are you still interested in arranging a packing party? I would like to help.

Comment by NitaSewBee on February 25, 2012 at 12:11pm: I won't be in Groton until maybe April.. I am going to be visiting my sister who lives in military housing.. Her hubby is a veteran. I was there in October. Had a blast. Any info about packing party next weekend... I think I read somewhere.. maybe in Molly's about one in Groton. I want to send some stuff to my sister so she can drop it offf for me and say hi from me.
