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."

Comment by mom3angels on June 19, 2013 at 3:18pm: Thank you to all of the moms for their encouraging words.I do however wish I read the posting from Connie earlier. I was so excited to get my daughters address and finally send her my letters...I sent hem all at once.. Now I hope she does'nt get into trouble with her RDC..I should have been more patient. I appreciate all the help with this adventure.

Comment by PrdNavyMom2Sailors on June 17, 2013 at 6:27pm: mom3angels- It will get easier, eventually, until then it will be a roller coaster ride of emotions. Hang in there, send your daughter encouraging letters, it will help you as well as her.

She will be on the Carter Hall LSD. She is leaving to meet the ship tomorrow. She will be a CSR (I think that is how u say it). Probably be gone for 6-8 months. For all new moms, my sailor has finished bootcamp and culinary school. If u have any questions, let me know.

Comment by blm on June 14, 2013 at 5:44pm: welcome new moms! this is a crazy time for you and your daughters. Start writing those letters and check in with bootcamp moms group too. My daughter was also in a 900 division and I was able to catch a few pictures from the two previous PIR groups because they perform with them-at least she did.

Comment by SRRVTMom DIV 935 Ship 2 on June 14, 2013 at 12:21pm: Hey there, my daughter is in bootcamp right now. Ship 2 Div 935. Glad to be apart of the Mom's of Navy Daughters! I'm all about women empowerment. Hope to get lots of good info for my SR.

Comment by Noelle Blues Mom on June 13, 2013 at 12:12pm: Hi Heather!!! My daughter graduated 5/31/13. She's in A school @ GL.. She loves it.. Stay tuned. I learned a lot on here. Everyone's very supportive. Ask questions! Someone will answer.. Enjoy this journey!! And best of luck to you and your future sailor!!

Comment by HeatherArlene on June 12, 2013 at 10:49pm: hello all. new here. my girl is leaving on june 25th.

Comment by blm on June 5, 2013 at 2:09pm: abbyq'smom-yes all our girls are something else-so proud of them all. Mine is on an LSD stationed in Japan and I have plenty of missing her moments but I usually just well up now and then instead of an all out cry!
