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."

Hello! I am new to the group and wanted to reach out to see if there are any other Moms on this group chat with their child due to be completed with the 2 week quarantine tomorrow? My son left 2 weeks ago...I am curious if anyone is in the same timeframe as my son?

Dear prayer mom, just talked to my so . He said dive prep is hard but he can make it. Hate to say but nothing is easy in EOD. I am sure he will do well. Mine said just to practice as much as he can. Hope this helps. Will keep you guys in prayers.

Good afternoon Ladies, and Happy Saturday!
I have the start of our EOD PM group. I have to do a little admin here. In order for us all to communicate and read each other's messages, we need to all be "friends." So far, I have the following interested moms. Please make sure that you are "friends" with everyone in this list. The easiest way to do that is to read my next "admin message" on the PM group. Click on each name and it will bring up their profile. If you are not their friend, you can "send friend request." It's as easy as that. Here is who we have so far.

Happy Columbus Day all!
