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."

Welcome to Boot Camp Moms (and loved ones). I look forward to sharing this journey with you. Be sure to check out the Pages (found under the pictures of the Members) for information on what to expect and to help you prepare for PIR. Take care and blessings to you and yours.

Since you have an SR at the RTC, you can change "Waiting to leave for Boot Camp" above to "Enlisted."  You may want to make changes 3 and 4 within OPSEC and PERSEC (Making Changes to Your Profile).

Our sons are in the same division. Nice to hear what he had to say. What school will he be going to after boot camp? Mine is staying at G.L. To become a H.T. Hull technician.

I also carry my son in my heart. I miss him so much, even though most times he would be in his room playing his Xbox, but I would hear him and see him once he's heading to the kitchen( very often I must say). At points in the day my husband and myself say 'I wonder what is he doing now'. Well 1 Friday has passed. Got his box yesterday too. I was happy that he could keep his wallet, bible, address book and his socks (lol). That's a good idea to write everyday. My job is to tape the walking dead for him once the new season starts. I am also looking forward to the first call, these days I make sure my phone is charged, on ring and I answer every strange call even though I have 2 weeks to wait. I am paranoid that I may miss his call

Welcome to NavyforMoms.com.  My name is Ronny and my son has been in the Navy since February of 2012.  He is currently stationed in San Diego with a Helicopter Squadron.  He is an Aviation Structural Mechanic.  I hope you find all the info you are looking for here, and if you have any questions feel free to ask.  My son is 3rd Generation Navy, so I do know a little about the Navy..:)
If you have a new Sailor who is in Boot Camp, or leaving soon, visit CallsforRecruits.org and I will send you FREE Pre-Paid Phone cards for your SR to use while they are in boot camp.  I started that program when my son left for Boot Camp :)
Welcome Aboard and I wish your Sailor Fair Winds and Following Seas.
