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."

Joyful, D is going for Seals. Lucky you going to Florida with our weather like it is here would be awesome. We will have sons at all different stages so that will be fun to get together and chat.

Davesmom you know alot more about what he is in for than I did. I sure wish I would have gotton on here before my son left!! I will send you a private message with my email and you can get ahold of me. I am pretty busy until I get back on the 8th and then on the 12th I have foot surgery. I am bustin a@# to get things all cleaned and ready for the holidays since I always have Thanksgiving. If D has liberty we might go there for Thanksgiving. Just playing it by ear which I guess is how it has to go these days. Take care.

Hi davesmom413. I started a group for Springfield, Missouri moms. I am hoping to get a few to join us for a lunch or just a get together some weekend. I don't mind traveling but I have 4 kids still at home and it would be a long drive for me and more expensive to spend the night because I have to get 2 motel rooms. They won't let me have 6 to a room.
If there are any other moms near the Springfield, Missouri area, please feel free to sign on the Springfield Missouri Moms site and join us. We are real small at this time but hopefully we can grow.

Hi Debbie. My sons A school is Great Lakes. It has been hard but then I was starting to get alittle use to it and on Friday they were allowed to make calls (they had the highest test 2 score of any other Div ever) however he calle his girlfriend and not me. I was heart broken and then mad. I had just written him a latter that day how I just want to hear his voice for 5 min. I guess my next call will be after BS and we will already be in GL for PIR how stupid is that. They need to work on that! Sounds like there are several moms in the area good to know. Any SEAL moms?
