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."

A Special Mother's Day Message
On behalf of NavyforMoms.com, I'd like to thank you for all that you do. From the moment your child was born, you've witnessed many milestones in his or her life - it's no different with this one. Mothers play such an important role in a Sailor's life, and your sacrifices should be celebrated every day.
It's a pleasure to read your notes, view your videos, photos and posts as you share your personal journey with us. And so many of you pass on your wisdom and knowledge to new members, helping them adjust to a new way of life.
We are honored to be a resource for Sailor's families and loved ones. Your sons and daughters have answered the courageous call to serve in #AmericasNavy and your support is priceless.
Happy Mother's Day!

Tiffany,
Thank you so much! This site is such a comfort to me. My younger son actually recommended it to me. I wish I would have known about it while my son was at Great Lakes RTC, but I'm glad I am here now. My son is now at A school in Goose Creek. He is also a Nuke. This site is very helpful to me. It makes me feel more connected to my son and helps me understand more about what he is doing.
Thank you,
Trisha
