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."

Brenda and Shell, I know so many new and good friends for life! I have some neat name tags made for all the moms that signed up for dinner. When Molly and LynnDear had dinner at that PIR they didn't even realize who each other was until they were leaving the restaurant - not letting that happen!
Beginning to question myself...excited to see our son or...excited to see my Navy for Moms allies!!!

ALL of u have a Wonderful time...I wish this site would of been up and running when we went to chicago for bc...Is this restraurant in chicago or closer to the base? So excited for all of u to see ur daughters/sons....I must tell you all typing this I had to stop because tears started to flow as much as we miss r children and it does get better then those bc days and u always think of them with worry,happiness for them,excitement when they call and share something new,cheer them up or shed a tear when u know they r homesick,and joy and pride because they are defending this Great Country and are so willing to do so.... but sometimes the aches of the bc months creep up and kick butt on your emotions, I told a friend once only a military MOM knows this emotion...So enjoy ur time with your children and God Bless them All!!!!! Love Marie your navy for Moms friend....:)
