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 November 4, 2012 at 11:20pm: Donna, feel free to email me your addy. I have plenty of coupons!!

Comment by Valtameri on November 4, 2012 at 8:38pm: Nice to see people are stopping in to this page! Hello to all.

We were without power for quite some time, so I am just getting a chance to see what has been happening. I will have to check out the packing party discussion.

Comment by Donna on November 4, 2012 at 3:08pm: Donna,

How do I find the List that has the items requested by the sailors?

I would like to have a coupon if you still have one available.

Can I email you my address?

Comment by Proud Navy/NYPD Mom (Donna) on November 3, 2012 at 9:16am: I went to the Christmas Tree Shop last night, told them about our upcoming party and they gave me Family & Friends coupons (a bunch of them). If you plan on buying for the troops and have one of these stores near you, let me know and we can figure out a way to get them to anyone who want them. They are only good until Nov. 13. But it is for 20% off every item you purchase. I bought a 99 cent item and they took 20% off that too!!!

They gave them to me for Navy Mommas to use, so we may as well use them up!

Comment by Proud Navy/NYPD Mom (Donna) on November 2, 2012 at 11:15pm: Leisure-Ley, let us know when you can. We have decided to go with Saturday, Dec. 1, and make Sunday, the 2nd a storm date.

It has been slow going because of the storm & we needed to pick a date so we are just hoping it works out for most. We are up to 8 for certain and 2 who will be getting back to us. So we have the makings of a great party.

Glad to hear you finally have power back!! If you have any questions about a packing party, feel free to leave them in the discussion above. Hopefully we will have a wish list very soon.

Comment by Leisure-Ley on November 2, 2012 at 7:43pm: Hi everyone, Here in East Haven-not shoreline. Just got my electric back today and my school in Branford re-opened today also, so its back to work and no more candles and oil lanterns! 17 days and my oldest son leaves for BC, my middle son is on the USS Stennis.

I'm interested in the packing party.. ni've never attended one. I read your looking for confirmation of joining asap.. i cant give a definate answer for about another week. Is this okay?

Comment by Niffer on November 2, 2012 at 9:30am: Sorry- I replied to Sheryl and forgot to post here. I'm in! Looking forward to it! :)

Comment by Proud Navy/NYPD Mom (Donna) on November 2, 2012 at 9:14am: NO takers on the packing party?? Please reconsider. MA Moms want to work with you Moms in CT, so we've moved the location to be closer to you. Harrington Hospital is right off Rte. 84.

Won't you plan to come? This absolutely will take place even if it is only 2 Moms!!

Comment by Proud Navy/NYPD Mom (Donna) on October 30, 2012 at 11:28pm: We are proceeding full-steam ahead with a combined packing party for the southern New England states. Another Navy Mom and I have finally found what we think may be the perfect location - central to everyone. So, if you've never attended a packing party for the troops, this is your chance & if you've done one before please come on out and make this an event to remember. Check out the discussion above "Southern NE combined packing party". Thanks ahead of time for checking it out.
