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."

I just received an e-mail concerning the "Discussion" tab. This is a place where we can go and add our name to our state in case a sailor is in need of assistance .. I would love to be a part of this, my son is in Conn. in A school and I would love to have someone there for him if he was in trouble. However, I cannot find this site. How do I join, any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you, Tracey

If your son is a strong independent type, like mine...he will call when he needs you. Try to remain strong. Mine did not call often! Please try to be strong, send him notes of encouragement, fun newsy stuff from the local paper, his favorite comic strip, or one that you believe would be light hearted or funny to him. I have come to believe that no news is good news, when it comes to the Navy. My best to you as you work through this adjustment.
