Go to "Settings" above to set your Username.  While there, complete your Profile so you can post and share photos and videos of your Sailor and share stories with other moms!

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."

ahh you didnt loose your baby, just wait til you see her next time she is gonna truly amaze you, your gonna be bursting with pride, yes this process is the hardest on her and a mom, but theses 8 weeks go by so fast you wait and see just stay on here and you,ll get all the support you need, thats how i got threw it!! after boot camp its easy, they get back their phones so you can have the commutation with her again, and they dont treat them like recruits no more, i think in bootcamp they do that to make you tough!!!!! well my blessings go out to her right now!!! and a big (HUG) for you!!!
