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."

My son was in DEP since Jan. He knew he would be in the Nuke program. He found Nuke Moms and sent me the link...from there I now am on AZMoms, 900's, PIR 12/05 and Nuke. I am sure after PIR I will find another site for his A School.
I just appreciate that someone started this site. This week I saw an ad in Woman's Day featuring Karen Gallagher who has two Nuke sons. I posted it in my classroom with all my other Navy items.

When my son had his swearing in ceremony for the Cardinal Company we were given a brochure with helpful websites, and when I was at my lowest, I tried Navy For Moms, and found a lot of support and new friends!!
Thankful we have it.

I saw a commercial on tv. That was all I needed. We all have so much in common but find it difficult to share with others because they really don't understand, not because they don't want to bu they can't. This is a great site and I'm so excited to be able to give some encouragement as well as receive some encourgement. Be Blessed

The TV commercial! Anything that says Navy catches my attention and they were great commercials. I would have loved to have this back about 5 years ago when my boys went in but better late than never!!

I saw your commercial on TV. I went right to my computer and signed up. It would be great if the recruiting office had a poster for your site. It would help a lot of moms. When my son joined 10 years ago I was so lost, it took me 3 years to get over the empty nest syndrome. Now I am happy I found your site. Thank you to everyone for thew support.
