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 Navy Mom (J) on October 5, 2018 at 12:49am: Wow another month has passed by and there will be Navy Moms meeting on the patio at AJ's Fine Foods. A very casual gathering of moms who understand what it is like to have a child in the Navy. If you are new we would love to have you come meet us. 6:30 on the patio outside the front of AJ's. It is in Dana Park at Val Vista and Baseline Rd. in Gilbert.

Comment by Navy Mom (J) on September 6, 2018 at 5:07pm: AZ Moms in and around Phoenix we are having our monthly Sunday night coffee this Sunday! 6:30pm on the patio of AJ's Fine Foods in Dana Park Square. In Gilbert at Val Vista and Baseline Roads. Hope you can make it!

( IF we decided it may be too warm we will send a note that we are taking it around the corner in the same strip mall at the Panera's, same time.)

Comment by anasazigypsy on September 6, 2018 at 12:21am: I don't know about now. Check with your recruiter, but almost 4 years ago when my now sailor left for boot camp,we stayed with him and got a photo of him waving as he entered the walkway to the plane. Got a similar photo as he boarded the plane after PIR on his way to Pensacola.

Comment by RaksAndRoll on September 5, 2018 at 3:24pm: Hi AZ Moms!

When your SR leaves for BC at Sky Harbor, are family members allowed to wait with the SRs for them to board their flights? My daughter leaves for BC on Oct. 2nd and I was just wondering if I was allowed to wait with her.

Thanks!

Comment by LuvMyLabs on August 6, 2018 at 5:02pm: I'm on the North west side of town, would be interested if there are any on this side of town as well ?

Comment by Phoenixmom on August 6, 2018 at 2:26pm: Hi Ladies wanted to know if all meetings are on the East side of Town? Are there any meetings towards the west Valley?

Comment by AZNavyMom00 on July 5, 2018 at 7:25pm: Navy Mom (J) — it was so great to meet you all. I look forward to next month and hope to have more news to share. I am so thankful for your willingness to share and support me this journey.

RaksandRoll— looking forward to meeting you.

Comment by RaksAndRoll on July 5, 2018 at 6:41pm: AZnavyMom00, I have it on my calendar! I will be there! :-)

Comment by Navy Mom (J) on July 5, 2018 at 6:36pm: AZnavyMom00, Thanks for coming out and meeting the group. Stay with us and you will get to know all of us too. We have been together for several years so I apologize if at times the conversations were hard to follow. We have become friends over the years and supported each other through a lot of life situations with kids etc.

Many times we have up to 11-12 moms or sometimes 4, you just never know. RaksandRoll, we look forward to meeting you next time.

Always check here the weekend of the meeting, there are times we may move it a week if it looks like many cannot make it.

Have a great weekend all!

Comment by Navy Mom (J) on July 4, 2018 at 10:49am: wishing you all a happy and safe 4th of July. So thankful for the men and women in uniform for their service and sacrifices! God Bless them!
