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 momof4, congratulations to you "Mom!" Four Children. Now that is an accomplishment. This is the place to be. NavyDads is great too. I use both interchangeably. The moms on this site have been a great help to my wife and me. The videos of first stages on enlistment are very helpful. The Acronyms are overpowering so it is good to find out what they mean. Still learning.

Navyformoms is the best place to be when your son/daughter goes into the Navy. Lots of support here and we have all been down the road you are traveling. Look at all the videos of what they will be going through.  As soon as you get their address start writing letters. I am a proud Navy Dad. Welcome aboard.

Hi! My son is leaving for boot camp on the 14th from Colorado.  I am so proud of him. I am trying not to miss him until he's gone, easier said than done.
