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 Lynne on December 5, 2010 at 4:46am: Hi all, my name is Lynne and I am one of the seasoned moms who will be dropping by to answer questions along with Jessica and Dianne. Although, let me say I am the newbie of the bunch. My son PIR'd in November. He is currently in Pensacola, having the time of his life I might add because he is on hold for classes. His rate is AE, which is Aviation Electronics. He told me he would be starting classes nine days after arriving at Pensacola, and I said according to navy for moms it would be more like after Christmas....guess who was right...yeppers...the old navy for moms network. I tell you this so you know that you will probably know as much or more than your recruit by the time you graduate from boot camp.

Oh you didn't think it was just your recruit that was going to boot camp did you. Well, sorry I have news for you, when your recruit signed up, so did you. In your time here, you will earn your Navy stripes: proud and strong. In this room you will get to know many people, you will worry together, cry together, get angry together, and even laugh together, but most importantly you will become part of the Navy family. You and your recruit will grow and change. It won't be easy, but it will be amazing.

In the next couple days I will be adding some things to your site like how to order a blue star flag and what the navy says about how to display it, some questionaires and my commandments about how NOT to get your recruits in trouble at boot camp. I am sure none of you want to be responsible for your recruit getting "beat" at boot camp. Don't panic...a beating...is simply extra physical training...but they don't like it...lol! RDCs can and DO read these sites so we have to take some steps to insure that nothing we do cause our recruits to get in trouble.

That's all for now. I'll be back soon!! Welcome to Navy for Moms!!

Comment by Penny_Nuke_MM2_NimitzNuke on December 5, 2010 at 1:33am: I got the form letter today and my son had January 28 written in the line and then it was crossed out and a 21 written in over top of it. In the 4 lines at the bottom of the letter he wrote: "P.S. Had to re-do grad date, we're graduating a week early!" Don't have any further explanation besides that. I just know that Alaska Airlines is charging me $75.00 for the change fee.... ugh!

Oh, the letter was postmarked December 2.

Comment by joansj proudGSM mom on December 5, 2010 at 12:09am: Cindy so glad to hear someone else in my son's division. Our kids are going through this together. With Christmas coming up I am getting sad all over again. I was trying to put up decorations and all I could think about is my son. I still hung his stocking over the fireplace. I just really miss him!

Comment by SDPam on December 4, 2010 at 11:48pm: Anyone's recruit going to A school in Meridian, Mississippi?

Comment by Cindy Ship11,DIV54 on December 4, 2010 at 11:14pm: Hi Alisha Nicole. Amber shipped out on the 23rd also. Out of Atlanta. A school is in Pennsicola Fla for 17 weeks.

Comment by KLP0824 on December 4, 2010 at 11:14pm: johnsmom do you know if they move the PIR date for ship07 div056 also

Comment by Kac46047 on December 4, 2010 at 10:54pm: Johnsmom, was there an explaination?? thats great news! was it a formal letter or one your son wrote.

Comment by Deana (Ship 11, Div 053) on December 4, 2010 at 10:43pm: I just got the form letter today! Yay! It was postmarked Nov 29. In her few sentences, she seemed upbeat but said "it's hard and tedious! Everything has to be 100% perfect!" I was so happy to hear from her.

What's up with the PIR date getting moved up?? Is it only for Ship 11, Div 057 or what?? BTW that's great!! Happy for you!

Comment by Marissasmom(Ship03 Div360) on December 4, 2010 at 8:52pm: JohnsmomPenny is that chg for SHIP7 DIV 055 too????????

Comment by Penny_Nuke_MM2_NimitzNuke on December 4, 2010 at 8:39pm: Nathansmom and Denise - guess what ???? got the letter and they moved up the entire ship/divisions PIR date .... it's no longer 1/28 but now is 1/21 !!!!!! YIKES, gotta change the airlines tickets.
