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."

Leighana, I see you haven't posted for a while, is everything alright with you and your son? Is he feeling any better? Sometimes I have a hard time keeping up with everything so sorry I didn't get in touch with you sooner. Please know it's not because I don't care and I pray God keeps you in his Care.

- I heard from my son and I am completely disappointed with the way the Navy handled things when it came to his situation. My son was in the hospital for a week and he gave consent for them to notify us. He was in a grave condition and I didn't know this until he was strong enough to call us to let us know himself. I understand he is considered an adult, but if there is a situation where the individual is extremely ill and something could happen to them their family should be notified.

- Leighana you should be hearing from him soon, mine called in his 3rd week. You will feel a whole lot more at comfort as soon as you hear his voice. Praying you hear soon.

Welcome to NAVYforMoms.com!
Head to “Settings” on the main page right away to add a profile image (no last names visible, please) and complete your Profile. Then - and this is important! - read these Community Guidelines and this Operations Security (OPSEC) Checklist, for the safety and privacy of all our Sailors.
Then jump right in! Browse around the site and check out the groups and the information in their Discussion Forums.
Join this group for boot camp moms, where you'll also find a group for your Pass in Review (graduation) date; and this one for PIR Reference Information.
Get a head start during boot camp by joining groups for, and learning about, your Sailor's occupational specialty and "A" School; and later your Sailor's duty station and/or Navy ship and homeport. You can also join groups for your own state, region or home town and interests from getting ready for deployment to care package ideas!
Please say Hi when you join a group, and feel free to ask any and all questions - everyone was new once, and there is no "dumb" question.
This site was created by the U.S. Navy just for you, and we look forward to getting to know you and your Sailor.
Welcome to the NAVY family - we're so glad you're here!!
