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."

Hi, everyone :-) My daughter is on the Nimitz (just back from a deployment) where she worked as a blue. So glad to have her close to home for now (they are in San Diego).

Hello to you all. I am new Navy Mom. My son's PIR was April 02nd and he was a Grad and Go and arrived in Pensacola on April 03rd. He is waiting to start "A" school for ABH. I thought I would join this group now and it will be nice chatting with you all.

We had a great homecoming with our son. He is staying in SD until Friday when he & his girlfriend are coming here. We couldn't take his car because his dad still couldn't drive as his left ankle was in a cast. He (my husband) got the cast off today & is now in a walking boot. Thank goodness he is going to go back to work in 2 more weeks - can't get anything done at home because I've been doing for him - the house is a mess & need to get it straighened up before Brent & Tonia get here Friday night. So far, our son is going to try to get a transfer to the Carl Vinson, as it will be in SD soon. His time on the Nimitz is almost up. He is exploring all options. He also got a NAM while on deployment so he (and we) are very happy for him.

My sailor is on his way to SD. He will be home from an 8 month deployment. Can't wait to see him. There are a lot of Tigers on the ship now & they will all be getting off soon.
