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."

I have a "sailorman" for a son now...

I just got back from graduation and WOW!!! is all I can say. I am a Navy veteran and now my son... it's an awesome family tradition we now celebrate together, not usual for a mother and son to share.  I still have so many emotions running through my mind and body, celebrating my son graduating on Friday, sitting with him at the USO office on Saturday until he had to leave and Monday busing around to all our local cemetery's with my legion buddies.  We are honor…

Vi, Just wondering whether you've heard anything from your son? Is he on facebook at all? If wasn't for facebook, I'd never see my son at all! Hope everything is ok. Yamamom

My daughter wants to know if your son is traveling in civilian clothes?

It is funny that I just read your post.  I had told my daughter that someone on N4M's has a son traveling on the 23rd from Mpls also.  I just signed on to send you a message and then I saw yours.  She flys out of Mpls at 6:05pm on Delta.  When does your son leave.  Hopefully they are on the same flight. She is getting nervous today.  We live in Duluth and are heading down to Mpls tomorrow.  It would be great for them to have a travel friend.

Welcome to NavyForMoms.com!!

I hope you get all the information here you are looking for.  Please stop by the Survival Guide for New Moms for some of the info to start with.  
If you have a new Recruit and need phone cards for them please check out Calls for Recruits.org and get them for FREE.  I feel that the Family, Loved Ones, nor the Men and Women of our Armed Forces should have to pay for phone calls from Boot Camp.  The link above will take you to the website to send the email for the FREE phone cards if you need them.  Please spread the word if you know of anyone who can use this great service!!!
