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."

SaltyMama - Thanks for letting us know.  I am in this group and Emptynesters and would like to stay in both.

Comment by JJ on December 4, 2016 at 3:29pm

SaltyMama...Thanks for keeping us posted! With my luck, I will be deleted from this group by error.  But I certainly hope not. This group has been together for a long time, some of us have become close Navy Friends while others have needed our help and love during some difficult times. This group is very important to many, many moms and I sincerely hope that we can stay connected.

ATTENTION ALL MEMBERS: If you want to stay as a member on this site, please read and comment to make sure you are not deleted.

The short of it about the website.

Navy for Moms has a new agency in control, and it is a hosted website. The membership cap for this website is 100,000, and that cap was hit in April.

The membership cap could be increased, but along with the increase for members comes a huge increase in monthly cost.The decision was made by the agency with the Navy to delete inactive members, freeing up room for thousands (if not tens of thousands) new members.

If you look at the column to the left on this page you will see new members arriving! :)

There is a group of us, starting in October, and with much work from B'sNukeMoM⚓️MM, that have been in direct contact with each other, with the ad agency and the Navy powers that be. We have been given admin privileges, and are working along with the agency to get things up and running again.

If you are in another group and the "warning" is not posted, please feel free to do so. We are trying to hit all the groups etc, but there are literally hundreds of them. Our fingers are moving as fast as they can. LOL

Good things are coming!
Please post this in other groups that you might belong to in order to get the word out. I would hate to see members deleted for not seeing the "warning" notice.

So excited to see this back up!! 

Comment by JJ on October 20, 2016 at 11:02pm

We can't allow this to happen again!  The next time we are together, we should get one everyone's contact info! And since there are many of us who are not on Facebook, there is no way we can contact other moms.  Sorta like being left "high and dry". Sure glad that we are up and running once again!!  See you when we get back! I am soaking up sun beams!  87 and sunny~

Dave'sMom, are we back up?  Are you still going to do cards?

We are waiting on approval for the holiday project.

Comment by DavesMom on September 29, 2016 at 1:12am

Hi Carol.  Great!  Thank you!  I want to tell my co-workers when the deadline is for their cards to be ready.  Can you please give me a deadline for me to get them to you for mailing?  PS - we've met many times at lunches.  I'm the one with the blond streak in my hair.  :)

Dave'sMom...I'm Carol and I am part of a group that sends Christmas packages to a deployed carrier.  I would love to use your holiday cards to send.  

Comment by DavesMom on September 28, 2016 at 4:20pm

JJ, last year we had 95.  Hoping for about the same or a little more this year.

Comment by JJ on September 26, 2016 at 4:17pm

Forgot to ask...How many cards do you have?
