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! The new adoption for Molly's Adopt A Sailor was announced today. We hope you will help us send some love from home to these sailors. Pat
San Antonio MA's is for those with a loved one with a contract for Master at Arms (MA). Previously, you indicated that your future Sailor has a contract for Hospital Corpsman (HM); if that has not changed then you can leave San Antonio MA's (click on Leave Group above the pictures of the Members) since the info there will not pertain to you. If your future Sailor has a new contract for MA, let me know and I can give you more info on the MA rating.
Hi, You are now a member of "MAS We Ship Love" so you have access to the addresses. We do it this way to provide a little security for our contacts!
proudmomof_calion,
Your two girls sounds close in age. I have twin daughters and at one time both of them were in the Navy. Now the youngest served her initial enlistment and is going to college on the GI Bill. Her sister who went to college first is now an officer going through flight training in Pensacola. I also have a son serving, currently in Afghanistan. They will keep you jumping!!!!!
Welcome to Molly's Adopt A Sailor! For information on packing and shipping care packages, go to the Molly's group page and click on "New Moms Read First." If you have questions or need help, please do not hesitate to send me a message.
Also on the Molly's page in the "Discussion Forum" you will find the information on our October adoption.
Thanks for joining us! Pat
Join the group, DEP-Leavin for bootcamp in April. You will meet others with loved ones leaving that day/week who may be in the same TG and have PIR together. Be sure to check out the discussion, Things to Do in the Last Month Before Your Future Sailor Leaves for the RTC. I also suggest you to join Boot Camp Moms (and loved ones) and begin checking out the Pages (found under the pictures of the Members) and Discussions there. You may want to check out Mom’s of Navy Daughters, Mom's of Daughters 2, and Women in the Navy.
Your future Sailor may want to join http://www.navydep.com to learn the ins and outs from the DEP point of view. Craig runs that and will steer her to some good links on there.
proudmomof_calion,
I see you recently joined the Moms of Daughters 2 group and I want to welcome you!!! We are a friendly caring group of moms and are always willing to listen, share and help each other whenever or wherever we can. Please feel free to join our chats, we love talking about everything from work, family, weather - whatever. Plus the joyful and anxiety filled journey of being a Navy Mom!!! When does your Navy daughter leave for bootcamp? Is your Army daughter in basic training or has she been in for awhile? Let us support you when you're missing her, lend an ear when you need to vent, and celebrate with you when you want to brag!! We look forward to learning about you and your sailor!!! Again, Welcome Aboard!!
Since your future Sailor has a contract for Hospital Corpsman (HM), check out Basic Medical Technician Corpsman Program Facebook Page. The Rating Information Card for HM can be found at https://www.cool.navy.mil/enlisted/rating_info_cards/hm.pdf; it indicates 19 weeks, but "A" School is 14 weeks after classing up. Your Sailor will most likely fly out to "A" School the day after PIR. See PIR Day and Liberty During PIR Weekend within Boot Camp Moms (and loved ones) to help you know how to plan your weekend.
