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."

Hi ladies!I just would love some advice on this current topic my significant other and i are having currently. without saying too much he’s enlisted in the navy and i am currently a university student. his work peers really value his work and his chief (if my s.o. wants) is willing to push a package for him to become an officer. which is great and i’m proud of him, but that would extend his current contract.i can barley handle him being deployed while i’m in school, it’s really stressful and we…See More

I sent you a message. Check for it in your inbox in the upper left corner. Or it might come through your email feed.

Hi Mykenzie - My apologies, I have been visiting with family and this site does not notify me when someone else has accepted my friend requests.

Hi Mykenzie - I saw your post on the wives & girlfriends group. I am not a member of that group, so I can not reply there. I am sending you a friend request though, and maybe I can post a private message to you. I have a lot going on here at home but I wanted to try to reach out to you if I could.

Hi Mykenzie - I am so glad that your loved one has graduated now. I usually do my best to come welcome each of our new BC members here, but it has been a busy month for me. I would have recalled that you are a spouse or girlfriend, I forget now. I apologize. 

I wanted to share a couple of things. First now that you have a sailor, go to your settings and change stage of Navy career to Enlisted.

Secondly, I wanted to invite you to our new Beyond BC group. We started this group, especially for those who might not have another active group on this site to ask questions about A school and beyond. There is also another group that is not as active but if you post a question it should get answered within a couple of days. Moms of "A" school Sailors - Navy For Moms (ning.com) 

Just remember you are not alone on this Navy journey and being a spouse or a girlfriend is hard. There are a lot of sacrifices that you will be making, so learning to network, and connect at your sailors duty station is important. Especially being connected to the ombudsman. Not all commands have as great an ombudsman as my son's is but they are there to be the connection between family and command.

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!!
