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 Bernapet on December 17, 2016 at 6:44pm: PHXTCORRY...I saw your email at work, and my work computer will not let me go to Navy moms. I just wanted to tell you...we've all been through that. Dang, I was the worst. I missed a call on Valentine day when my son was deployed, and I cried all night! Just know that they are doing such a wonderful thing! Boot camp is probably as hard on the mom's as our sailors! But just know, my son has since gone on an 8 month deployment, and he loves the Navy! Loves it all! He is on a plane right now to come home, and I haven't seen him since his ship came in, in June. It's hard on us, but it is such a great experience for them. She is in good hands. I will be thinking and praying for you. Hang in there. Just so you know...this site got me through the tough times...don't know what I would have done with out it. Hang in there mom, and thank your daughter for her service from me! From one Navy mom to another...love you and be strong!

Comment by Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on December 12, 2016 at 2:33pm: Welcome PHYTCORRY! I'm SO sorry you missed her call! She may be able to call sooner than two weeks, so yes - keep your phone charged, on and with you at all times and be sure the ringer is ON. It's not just during BC by the way - it gets to be a way of life when they're deployed, too! You may have to explain to people at work and in meetings that you keep your phone on because you have an active-duty Sailor, they can just deal with it LOL But most important for now, know that the Navy has chosen her and wants her to be successful, and you and she will be bursting with pride at PIR, so don't worry, all will be well!

Comment by PHXTCORRY on December 12, 2016 at 11:48am: My daughter has been gone 2 weeks and was allowed to make her first phone call from boot camp...I am so heartbroken, I missed the call and the voice mail she left had me upset all day. She was in tears and kept saying how much she missed and loved me. She said she can call again in 2 weeks and to expect a letter soon. Guess my phone will not be leaving my side for the next 5 weeks

Comment by Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on December 12, 2016 at 1:57am: Were you able to find the links you were looking for? There's this - USS Eisenhower - Ike Family. Are you connected to the Ombudsman and the FRG yet?

Comment by Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on December 12, 2016 at 12:09am: Mom of J.R. (sandy) - what ship is he assigned to?

Comment by Navy Mom (J) on December 12, 2016 at 12:08am: Still here....

Comment by lsb on December 2, 2016 at 12:27pm: I do not want to be deleted from this site. Thank You
