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."

I've started a group called "Moms Beyond the Trident" for moms of SEALS on Teams. Our young men have changed , and our needs have also. See you there! This will be my last post on 282. I want to thank you (tearing up) all for all your support, and for your son's friendship to my son. 281 and 282 were very close, and I pray they will continue to stay that way. I will also be on "SEAL MOMS" site occasionally. (who am I kidding) I get addicted to you women!!!! :)

Hi everyone, I can't believe how long its been since I've been on here! I felt so sick when I learned of the Seals that were killed last week. I get so worried knowing the dangers that lie ahead for our guys. I can't even imagine how devastated their families are. On a sep. note, I have a few emails too. If others want to chat, just PM me. I think I'll join the Seal mom site so that I can keep in touch with many of you that are still working through the program. Hope everyone is well
