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."

Hello Everyone! It is my privilege to choose our March Group! First, though, I must extend hearty anniversary wishes to Navy for Moms.com! Yesterday I consulted with my "posse" who write letters and add to the boxes every month. They are ages 2 through 11. We looked at maps and anysailor. We are going to Kuwait this mont








I know that I have big shoes to fill considering my excellent predecessors but I pray you will all join me in showering these brave sailors with some N4M love! Pat

Hi, ladies guess what I found.a bike shop in Kuwait that ships.Bikes start a 299.00. I bet there are more. I know money is a problem we may have to do something.. maybe a online bake sale Hahaha!!
My son is still in BC but he wants a care pkg too!
Peggy, we talked about donations to one of the team. Maybe the cookbook money could cover one bike and we could come up with the money for a second or third one from us....thoughts anyone.

Hey - Staci - Glad your back and going strong. OH UMMMM...there was something a few days ago about a great story for the front page - did I miss it???????
Great idea to send Juan a birthday card. Peggy, great research!
Oh STACI!!!!!!! You are the coolest! This is so awesome! We finally get to see one of our 'guys' and on a camel no less! Doesn't this just bring it all home??? Blessings to all of you and especially Juan and his unit!!!! :)
Staci, THANK YOU for sharing Juan's picture. It is just so exciting to have a face to go with our group. I am just so proud of the mom's in this group who have such BIG hearts and caring souls.
Oh and Staci, congratulations on your new baby (Molly)!!!!
OMG look at him ---- what a great deal Staci. This is our first contact while adopting :) Whats his thoughts on the bike issue ? Ohhh Honey I am so glad you are talking with Our Juan.
Give him huge love from us please ---- and please please keep us informed on how all our sailors are doing.
This is so cool.
YOu rock Staci......whoohoo....
Did you tell him about the group adopting him and his sailors? then I say go for it ---- we WANT to get them what they want. you could also ask about DVD's just for GP. Maybe they could use/want something different ? We have the opportunity this time to just ask the horses mouth ---- I say lets take this opportunity.
He is probably just so glad to communicate with someone that everything else is overwhelming.
We can get insider info about how fast things get to them/ IF they get to them
This is just my opinion -------- chime in everyone what do you think ?
I say, that she asks him for a dream list of stuff they would want.
I sent out a box of beenie babies that were going to be tossed out by my youngest daughter, I also sent those big manilla envelopes, thought the sailors mite want to send them home to their little ones for Easter.
