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 Anna on November 9, 2010 at 9:21pm: Wow, Marcy!! So many places to turn to.....I never know that there could be so much kindness. It will take me a couple of days to navigate through the groups you have listed below, but I will. Thank you so very much

Comment by Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on November 9, 2010 at 8:19pm: Welcome AnnaK!
Let me suggest some additional groups to join that are great -
Corpsmen Moms and Dads
http://www.navyformoms.com/group/corpsmanmomsanddads

Mothers Getting Ready for Deployment (good info in the discussions)
http://www.navyformoms.com/group/mothersgettingreadydordeployment

and
Anyone with Sailors/Soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan
http://www.navyformoms.com/group/momswithkidsiniraq

Also, find a moms group for your geographical area! They have get-togethers and share info. There are groups for your interests - movie reviews, quilting, whatever. And a fun and very active group is Molly's Adopt a Sailor - every month they adopt a Navy ship or a military unit, and we shop for, pack and send themed care packages.

I have learned so much from the various groups I've joined, and - best! - formed wonderful friendships here on N4M.

Comment by Anna on November 9, 2010 at 7:01pm: Thank you, Ruthella!!! Your kind words are deeply appreciated. Knowing that there are others that I can turn to for support is a wonderful feeling. There are some, here at work, that have experienced what I am about to know, but I don't want to turn to them. I know that there is nothing that I CAN NOT DO for my son and being strong is top on the list. I was just out to Jacksonville to see him, got to laugh with him and get some great hugs. Thank you, again

Comment by Anna on November 9, 2010 at 5:02pm: Am also new to Navy Moms. My son is an HM2 at Camp LeJeune. Will be deploying in 2011 after becoming a new Dad. How do you learn to breathe while your child is in harm's way?

Comment by Tamijzr07 on November 5, 2010 at 1:13pm: Hi Marcy, Yes he is :) I havent heard too much except that he has been in the field and that he get less sleep these days. Im sitting here trying to catch up on e-mail and Navy for Moms while I have my 20 month old grandson drawing next to me to keep him busy. Well see how long that lasts :) Its been a while since Ive had to multi task to this degree. Love the little guy though. Best to everyone!

Comment by Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on November 2, 2010 at 3:19pm: Hi Tami! Assuming your son in the midst of FMTB?

Comment by Tamijzr07 on November 2, 2010 at 11:48am: I just wanted to check in and say Hi to everyone. I havent been on much except to take a quick peek here and there. I think of the folks on Navy for Moms often and I hope all is well. Take care !

Comment by Tamijzr07 on November 2, 2010 at 11:45am: HI There, My son headed to Camp Lejuene on Oct 12. He says all is going well but he gets a lot less sleep there than @ A school. He sounded pretty tired but still very enthusiastic about being there. Best to your daughter.
