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."

Hi 'Grandmas'.
Doesn't look like there's too much activity in this group? My sailor graduated Great Lakes May 24 2013. He lived with me from age 11 - 19. He's now 20 and in Pensacola awaiting A school. I've learned more from Navy4moms about Navy stuff than I've found out from him so far. Will try to visit him and get his car to him as he gets into Phase II or III. I'm in Fort Myers.. a mere 10 hour drive.
