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."

Campbellm - We live in Kitsap County near Poulsbo. Our DS is a helo pilot on Coronado (San Diego) too! They have been there for three years, he was deployed for almost one of them. They love that area.

CathieRenee -- Haha, but no. My "name" is a Game of Thrones reference, except that I only have 2 sometimes uncontrollable offspring.

Parv 44 - Our daughter was a Seahawk in 1992 while she was in calibration school on North Island! This is our son's third trip thru NASNI. He has never been with the Seahawks though.

I am also a helo mom, though my son is enlisted. He is a Crew Chief and is FCF and AMCM qualified. He is currently in FL.
Motherof2dragons... Is your name a reference to the MH53E Sea Dragon helicopter?

Wow! Welcome all you helo moms! Our representation in this group has been pretty thin over the years. NavyBratNavyMom - I have never been able find a group of helo moms but I haven't looked lately. My DS is in Coronado with his family.

DaleAndrea: My DS was at Atsugi for three years. It is actually a nice posting and is a joint Japanese-American base. It's only 20 min. by train to Yokohama, and another 20 min. from there to Tokyo.
Base housing is very limited, but the housing allowance is generous and the Housing group is very helpful. My DS rented a house for two years with another aviator and then got an apartment when his roomie got married.
One caveat - it sometimes takes quite a while for their personal goods to get there. DS was moving from Norfolk, and it was about 3 months. Housing has furniture they lend out in the interim. He should take all the clothes, etc. that he'll need.

Another Georgia helo mom here. My DS is in Guam.

I am so glad to see all the responses from helo moms. My DS is currently in JAX and will be going to Atsugi, Japan in the spring. We are from Athens, Ga
