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 TARA - I was just checking in to see how you are doing. I see there hasn't been much conversation on the Girlfriends, wives, group. We just had a mother of the SR's girlfriend join our BC Moms page and I was going to send her there as well but maybe not. Please feel free to post on the BC Moms and Loved Ones group. We have walked the 8 - 9 weeks with other wives. Once you know where your sailor's A school is or other information, joining those groups will help also.

Hi TARA, this is Chipmunk. I help out on the BC Moms group where several of us replied to your discussion. I am just checking in on some of our new members to see how things are going as I believe you are in that "silent time." Do not hesitate to come and post on our group. We have helped many wives through their BC time and we are happy to visit and converse with you in the main group comments.

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!!
