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."

My son completed Battlestations yesterday, and has PIR on 12/29...I am so proud of him and all of those who endured the last 9 weeks. I miss him terribly, but this site has helped me keep my sanity.

Welcome all the new Central FL moms! It's nice to get some action on this site. It has been quiet for quite a while now. I guess I'm an "old timer" LOL! My son has been in for 1 1/2 years ... he is with the VAW-113 Black Eagles based in Pt. Mugu which is attached to the USS Ronald Reagan. They were the first responders to the Japan Tsunami. He returned on Sept. 19 after 7 months at sea and just got back from another "at sea". I'm just waiting to hear when he's coming home for the holidays. My daughter is 22 and in Tampa -- might as well be another state, though... it seems I saw her more when she was in school in Greenville SC. I'm a native Miamian, transplanted here to Orlando ... been here for 12 years now. Wow, time sure does fly!

Hello everyone, I am originally from the Big Apple, currently in Fl. I am married to a humble kind man, and have 4 kids, and they are my inspiration. My daughter is 23, married and has a lil boy 2 years old who calls me Daamaa......i also have a 20 year old son in the Navy, 15 year old son who loves chess, and my "bonus baby" is 6 and reads at the level of an 8 year old, loves art and music despite being diagnosed with Autism at age 2. We are preparing for our trip to Great Lakes for PIR on 12/29...I'm sending up prayers that it doesnt snow and that the airfares go wayyyyy down.
