While there, complete your Profile so you can post and share photos and videos of your Sailor and share stories with other moms!

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 Pat L. in IL on December 6, 2012 at 7:14am: @Michelle, Count me in! Let me know when a date/place is decided. Sure could use some time with my sisters!!

Comment by Theresa on December 5, 2012 at 11:08am: I haven't read all of these posts, but I'm guessing there is some sort of talk about meeting up before Christmas? I'd love to do that? And the western burbs works great for me! :) Please keep me in the loop! Thank you!

Comment by Laura on December 4, 2012 at 2:02am: The location works for me. It just depends on the date. My sailor is coming home for Christmas! I have no idea what I will be doing from day to day when he is home. Probably running in circles!
