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 Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on January 27, 2014 at 7:58pm: Welcome Leach73! We have a group for Hospital Corps A School that's great for you right now too - http://navyformoms.com/group/hmhospitalcorpsmanaschoolinsanantonio

The party sounds like fun! Since they can't take anything to BC, one thought is to plan ahead for A school and get her a Visa gift card for buying incidentals at the Exchange when she arrives in San Antonio. You can give it to her at graduation or mail it. As for party ideas, I found this :) http://www.pinterest.com/melsmark/party-medical-theme/ I love the thermometer pretzel sticks and all the skeleton stuff LOL

Comment by Leach73 on January 27, 2014 at 5:24pm: Hello to all the Navy Moms

I don't come on the site as often as I'd like to but when I do, I'm glad to see new things that help me learn more about the military life and what to expect.

My daugther leaves for BC on Feb. 19th. We are from the Chicago area so thankfully she doesn't have to take a flight or bus in from another state.

That date is coming up soon and with just a few weekends to go, I'd like to plan a little going away party for close family.

Any ideas? suggestions? Thanks in advance for your responses.

Comment by velvetlace on January 26, 2014 at 9:38pm: IDCmom- My corpsman has not received his assignment yet. I will let you know if he is assigned to Area 21 Clinic. I am sure he would love it if he were assigned to a clinic.

Comment by IDCmom#1 on January 26, 2014 at 3:58pm: Velvetlace, wonder where he will end up after the class. If he ends up in
Area 21 Clinic, let me know. I'm sure my son would like experienced corpsmen and not just newbies.

Comment by familything on January 25, 2014 at 10:40pm: I know you already got the quota but I voted anyway. Maybe If they get double the votes they will get more money!
