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."

Any Moms in the South Houston, Pasadena, Clear Lake, LaPorte, Galveston County and all surrounding areas!

I have talked with 4 other moms in these areas and we would like to start a group of us that get together once a month and do different things like go out to eat, scrape booking days, shopping days, ect... If you are interested in something like this then let us know. I am thinking our next evening out will be May 19th at 630. I am thinking either TGI Friday's or Cafe Express both at 45 and Bay Area Blvd. If you have a preference or have another suggestion let us know.

Any word on our next outing!!!!!! Sorry I missed the last one, but I was really sick.

Hello Ladies... I am in the North Houston Central area. I'm very new at this. My daughter Ashley is 20 yrs old and is stationed in San Diego California. She has left for the first time on her ship the USS Ronald Regan this past Thursday.
I am so very proud of her but... yet it is tearing me up inside!! The first time we were ever apart was Boot Camp and then followed A school. OMG.. how hard this was for me!! I can't seem to stop the tears from running.
How did you handle this? She will be gone for 4 1/2 to 6 months. I think by then I will be going crazy out of my mind. Please tell me it gets easier!!
I'm so happy right now...!! She just called me!! I feel so relieved to know that she is okay.. She said things are good and going smoothly!! I hope you don't mind if I write every now and then.. I just need to keep a clear mind... and talk to people that understand what I'm feeling!!

Thanks again for listening!!
God Bless

Hey Dawn,

When is our next outing going to be?

Permalink Reply by Donna H on June 5, 2009 at 9:08am

Hi - I live in the Rosharon (Pearland) area, but I'm from Galveston. I would love to be included in your next outing. My son is still in GL almost done with A school for ET. It seems like he's been there forever. He should be home for a couple of weeks this summer before he goes to C school (not sure where that will be yet).

I think it is time we stop talking about it and get busy!!! haha - I want to come and if we wait until August, I'll be back in school!!

Can someone in that area find a nice meeting place?

Jeff's Mom - come spend a few days with me and we can learn to scrapbook together!! I bought TONS of stuff - and books to know how - just have to get organized and creative (which is hard for my mathematical brain).

I am new to "Navy Moms". My son is currently at recruit training in Corpus/Ingleside NS with the USNSCC (Sea Cadets) group. Though he is 2 years from graduating high school -- I am interested in meeting with local Navy Moms.
