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."

Hey Everyone! I recently joined this group...my son has been in Atsugi since April. Before that he spent 2 years in Bahrain. I've been on Navy for Moms since he left for Boot Camp and it has been a great support system for me. I look forward to getting to know everyone :-)

I thank God for y'all. I thank God for this site. Everyone is so wonderful. I always refer to Psalms chp 30 verse 5
For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.Yes Jesus!!!!!

Prayers for all missing their sailors. Remember that they are God's children and that he gave them to us to raise. God loves them even more than we do (imagine that)!!! I pray also for the sailors during their time away from loved ones. It's hard of all of us. I love that we are here to help each other. DREW, MOMPLUS2 and tytulip40 - special prayers during this time.

God is something else - woke up really missing my son - come on here and read the comments and see I'm not the only one! Sending hugs to everyone!

MAGGS- that makes sense that maybe he doesn't want to call because he's homesick. I'm hoping that's the only reason.
Thanks magg

BLONDIE I know... I just feel so alone at times... I try to get out and do things but it always come back to my son. Every time I fall down I just keep getting back up and I get knocked down again.. After my daughter died I went to a therapist for 4 years, maybe I just need to go back and just talk. I feel like I've lost 2 kids. uGH.... Thanks again Blondie everyone is so wonderful..
(((Hugs back)))
