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."

Hi, I am the mom of a daughter currently in the Navy. You may need to join more groups like the Corpsman San Antonio group if your daughter is a Navy Corpsman because they are very active in that group.
Mommasgirl, ask a question and I will see if I can answer it for you since my daughter has been in almost 2 years.
Momma'sGirl, you also have a resource to join other group mentioned on your comments page by lemon.
So sorry your not getting a response, I have found these sites very resourceful

I am so sorry that you are not getting responses. 

Your message showed up as an alert in my email. 

I was on this site regularly when my daughter was in boot camp and probably the first year of her being in the Navy. I now rarely go on this site. I am mostly use my FB groups now. 

Do you have questions now or did you find the answers on FB?

make sure you're on the main page and not in discussions.  some days no one are on but most there was people in and out.  Usually we are very friendly.  I'm visiting my sailors who just had a baby so haven't been on... I'll check and see if you're showing up on the main page.  Sorry you're unhappy.  I agree I am on 3 pages regularly and I have dropped the others.  You have to get a good fit but usually this group is active and very helpful

Thank yall for responding. I am on aeveral pages and I do find this one helpful if not busy. Most of my questions have been answered up to now.I will keep asking and looking on here. Thanks yall!
