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 ethansmom on June 21, 2013 at 6:43pm: Hi all.. A reminder tomorrow is the navy mom luncheon at 12pm in Tempe on Ash ave and 3rd st ,,,at Macayo's .
Hope to see some moms there.

As to recruiter sons was a SSMall off Power Rd but he's no longer at that location.

And to Lainey .. I understand the tears ..it gets easier ..some move fwd faster than others ...I'm slow in that dept ..he was my baby and now my nest is empty.
Been one year on 26th been gone and haven't seen him since early Feb. ..I can't get used to not seeing kid but know he's happy so that helps tremendously.

Your pride will grow as time passes and you will get a call and letters starting hopefully around 3 wks into bootcamp..that helps too .

His accomplishments in one year help ease the pain too but I will never stop missing him at home !

Best thing is to find moms in same situation ..others don't understand .

Comment by Lainey on June 21, 2013 at 6:20pm: My SR left June 17th ive been a mess does this get any better? I got his box today and there they go again tears again..... oooh how i miss him...

Comment by AZMom on June 19, 2013 at 1:13pm: Hi Staci - My sons recruiter ,Petty Officer Ball, is at the Mesa office (Power and Superstition Springs) and I must say anyone of them in that office are very professional and easy to talk to. The day that we first went in there we spoke with Petty Officer Hunter and he was very knowledgable and encouragable of my sons decision to join. Not sure where you are located but I hope this helps.

Comment by evetnaz_CV Mom on June 16, 2013 at 1:35am: Hmm? I'm in Tucson .. hopefully I can make it. My daughter leaves in 9 days .. it HIT me today and I've been crying all day! I've been a mess .. the support would do me some good.

Comment by Micka on June 15, 2013 at 1:08pm: Sat June 22? I plan on going if this is the date (: love meeting with other Navy mom's!!

Comment by ethansmom on June 15, 2013 at 12:58pm: Hi all..sarah /az coordinated the luncheon im just the messenger !..it is on a Saturday at 12pm at Macayos in Tempe on Ash Ave cross of 3rd St..there is a reserved room and extra table for if you want to bring pictures or navy stuff to display /share.

just some moms talking and eating..two things i like to do so im going !

been almost a year since ethans been in .(on 26th of june )..last year at this time i was a nervous wreck freak and many other emotions..this year still kinda but much better because he is so happy.
