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."

Yes, I did...thanks for the invite. I look forward to getting to meet up with your group!! My name is Kim, and my daughter is on the Eisenhower - out on deployment for 9 months. She is an ABE Airman - green shirt - helps the planes take off and land?? I do live in Racine but there isn't much group meeting here. It makes me sad...I wish more people would like to get together...again, thanks!

Wow Paula, that is great advice, thanks! I've already learned so much on here, this is great. His recruiter is coming to the house today to answer my questions and give me the "what to expect" speech. I'm excited and have gone a little heywire with the "Proud Navy Mom" bumper stickers and T-shirts (everyone in the family got their own). thanks for all your help, I can't wait to meet you all!
Mary, I have to ask, what the heck is Rocking with the Troops? LOL, I hope your sailor is able to call soon. I think I would be on the floor in a heap, your all so strong.

Hi Paula, WOW, you must be so proud and overwhelmed by your daughters bravery and dedication! I'm still learning the lingo, but Jake was given a job of Sonar Apprentice. I am still figuring out exactly what that means, but he's thrilled. That's what really matters. I'm just scared that I'm never going to see him. I would love to join you ladies for drinks, let me know the details.
