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."

Changing up the Main Page, once in awhile!

I don't know how many of you agree with me or not...but I have noticed that the "MAIN PAGE" on this site continues to remain the same week after week. There are a lot of moms out there with a LOTof GREAT things to say and advice to offer, so I say change it up once in awhile and make it interesting!
This is said with complete love for this site! ♥
D.

Comment by CCR on December 30, 2009 at 9:16pm: Yes, we need to have numbered pages to facilitate easier searches, and look back on several weeks of conversations without having to page next and previous. ARGH.

Comment by CCR on December 30, 2009 at 9:18pm: Brenda, Dr. Cascio in Beaumont donated some toothbrushes/toothpaste to Patrick's ship. Do you need one?

Comment by Brenda Sue on December 30, 2009 at 9:21pm: CCR, are you trying to tell me (in a nice way) that I need a toothbrush?? hahaha

If you have bunches, bring me some and I'll send them to whatever bunch we adopt each month!!
That is awesome - did you just ask him or did he volunteer?

Comment by Brenda Sue on December 30, 2009 at 10:48pm: You coming also, Jackie!!
CCR's husband works only about 20 minutes from my house! We have gotten together several times! She has even visited my home!

Comment by diane {Shawns mom} on January 1, 2010 at 1:37pm: thanks for the fridge shell..and Dear lynn...you said it all!!!! this "was" a great site for support and understanding and reading the front page let us know about new members and also a chance to meet new friends...now its just (what I think) an adverisement or just total control over a site that NAVY moms HELP create and make a success! Our opinions don't seem to matter any more...push us out, there are 100's more joining each day...we will never leave but with growth comes some "growing pains" and I guess that what this all is.......but please change it up.....Trial and error my dear admins....! ♥

Comment by TexasMomof2 on January 3, 2010 at 11:02am: I agree. At least the "Featured Photo's" used to change and I always looked forward to that. But I've noticed lately that not even these are updated.

Comment by diane {Shawns mom} on January 4, 2010 at 11:20pm: the main page is still the same, as shell stated earlier in this blog..December 14th 2009..its today ..Jan. 4th 2010!!! ...its good for new members but what about the members that have been here for 2 years....????♥
