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."

I was doing a search for how to find out the day by day location of the USS Harry S Truman - which I did not find : ( - and came across your site. My son has been in the Navy for 6 years. We are very proud of his choice to serve his country.

We actually found Navyformoms.com while we were looking for bootcamp videos on youtube. We were getting our son prepared for bootcamp at great lakes and found the Navy Racks Video. That's what brought us here.

There was a newspaper article in our local paper about 2 Tucson moms who were members. That was the fall of 2008 after I came back from the tiger cruise on the USS Abraham Lincoln and my son's deployment was finished.
I went right to the site and joined.
