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 fellow Arkansas Moms! Ive been on here for a few days but just now thought to look for AR moms. So happy to see we have a group!

My son arrived at BC Jan 8th. I got his box on Friday but still waiting for his form letter. Can't wait for the first call in a couple of weeks!

Very proud of him but still very anxious at this point. Anyone from central AR?

Welcome Cmyhero! We are neighbors. I am in NW Arkansas too. Springdale to be specific.  My son is stationed in Mayport, FL. My niece and her husband are stationed at Norfolk. When ever you to get married and settled in let me know and I will try to introduce you to her so that you will know someone. I know sometimes things get rough, but just remember that going through the rough times is what maskes us stronger.
