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 ProudNavyMom#1 on June 30, 2014 at 2:18am: Thank you tidefan! You have an awesome 4th of July!!!

I just said a prayer for your son and all who are awaiting class up! God bless them all. All in God's time.

Big NMH my dear!!!

Comment by ProudNavyMom#1 on June 30, 2014 at 2:01am: Ooops! Or should I say OPSEC? hahahaha

My dear Ladyrocker, we don't share names of our Sailors for their own safety. However, you can Private Message us and ask, or perhaps, the right moms will PM you claiming their Sailors :)

Also, it's kind of embarrasing if you happen to be the Mom with the Sailor that chews their sunflower seeds so loud and makes gross noises bc then we would all know HA! That's the Mom of the noisy/smelly/loud Sailor! HAHAHAHA

I know, you are as eager as I was at first to match our boys to their mamma's on here!

We all have this in common in that we love our boys and this forms a special bond between us Moms on N4Ms. In time we all private message each other and find out about each other's Sons and exchange prayers and hugs and love for our kids.

I am happy to hear you are communicating with your Son. God bless him and all our boys in Groton! That is my daily prayer. Big NMH!!!

Comment by tidefan on June 29, 2014 at 2:07pm: hello ladies.I am still just watching and listening to you and your sailors' life in Groton. Mine is still on hold and looks like he will be for a while. Enjoy your week and have a happy 4th
