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."

Moms/Dads/Families with Nukes in Ballston Spa, NY

Information

Wanted to start a group for moms, dads, and other family members that have Nukes currently attending Prototype in Ballston Spa, NY.

Members: 169
Latest Activity: Jun 19

Thought I would start a group for the families of sailors stationed in NY for Prototype. It will be nice to chat about what is going on with our sailors whether it is good or bad so that we can support each other. I have connected with many people on this site but it is always nice to meet others that are going through the same things together. Also if you have had a sailor in NY for an extended amount of time then you can help the new ones just coming in on what to expect.

Comment by B'sNukeMoM⚓️MMN(Vet) on February 7, 2014 at 12:22pm: Well we finally got some much needed rain in our area yesterday. Not a whole lot but at least it's a start!

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Comment by B'sNukeMoM⚓️MMN(Vet) on February 5, 2014 at 3:13pm: Patti and Laura (and anyone else who's experiencing this storm) stay safe!

Comment by B'sNukeMoM⚓️MMN(Vet) on February 5, 2014 at 3:12pm: Son has been texting me pics all morning of the snow - it's crazy watching how much has fallen just in the last 6 hours! He said he's worried about driving in tomorrow......

On a lighter note - I borrowed this from another mom - too cute!

Comment by Laura on February 5, 2014 at 4:57am: Ok...Ice hitting window just woke me up. Glad to hear they don't have to go in. Hope they all went shopping. So glad to see these messages Im not as informed. Stay safe everyone!⚓❄

Comment by B'sNukeMoM⚓️MMN(Vet) on February 5, 2014 at 12:54am: Oh and I'm happy that he doesn't have to drive in the snow LOL.

Comment by B'sNukeMoM⚓️MMN(Vet) on February 5, 2014 at 12:53am: Patti - my son texted the same thing! He's happy to not have to drive in the snow tomorrow!
