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."

Hey Tricia. Thanks for the invite!! Although my time is coming to an end with the Navy, I know that I will always be a part of this great group and will want to keep in touch and check in to find out what great things are going on in everyones lives. Thank you for your prayers, it has been a rough couple of weeks, but I will be back on my feet and busy as ever before long. 

I hope that this deployment has not been too hard on your or your Sailor. It has been a very long one to me. It feels like a lot longer that the last one, but I take comfort in knowing that this is his last! While I am so proud of him for serving his country I know that he is not happy with some of the things that have been going on and I only want for my children to be happy. His little family needs him home as much as he needs to be home with them. If you need anything anytime please feel free to message me!!

Hugs to you!!

Hey Tricia! What is your son's rate? What does he do?

That would be great! What is your sons last name?  I think they know each other by last name rather than first. Anthony's last name is Riccobono

Hi, you'll be so wrapped up with the group from the Enterprise you'll forget all about us over at New Moms Stop Here. Those gals are chatty!  Some great people there. If you have a question, drop by NMSH, I check in everyday.
