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 Sandy - I hope that you receive this message. You posted to the group which goes through our email feed, but there is no way for us to reply to you. If you come to this area on the comment wall of this page, then you can post your message and more members will see it.
I also highly recommend that you join the Boot Camp Moms (and loved ones) - Navy For Moms (ning.com) - there are several other moms going through the exact same thing as you are. We highly recommend that you involve yourself in some project, posting on the groups, which this site is easier to navigate on a computer. If you are on a mobile device, we recommend that you put it into desktop mode.

Ummi - My apologies that I never responded to your post here. I was in the middle of some serious family issues right at that time. If I am not mistaken, has she moved on to her duty station or is she still in school?
B'sNukeMom - Beautiful pictures. Your sailors waited until they were both out to get married whereas mine married while still enlisted, but my sailor gal has moved on to her shore duty orders now, while my son is still on sea duty.
