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, Anyone from Sarasota?

Hello!  I am new to this...my son will be graduating college in December then heading to OCS reporting on January1, 2012.  I am from Sarasota.  Glad I found this group as i will have lots of questions!  Glad to be here and am excited to "meet" others!

Hi! I'm in Palm Harbor. My son is in boot camp now, his PIR is 2/3/2012 and I cannot wait to see him!

Ladies did you know there is a Molly's Adopt a Sailor packing party in your backyard?  Did you know that Molly herself and almost a dozen other Navy Moms from around the state and country will be there?  It's on February 18th in Largo at the Army Navy Union Garrison from 11 to 2.    click http://www.navyformoms.com/events/tampa-bay-molly-s-adopt-a-sailor-... for more info.

I live in tampa and my son was on January 10

@ vansmom and OkSuzy... I am just finding this Discussion.  I am from Manatee county (Myakka).  I am a new mom.  My son left March 13th and will graduate May 11th.

I am from winter haven and my son just left on wednesday.  what a very emotional day.   I know it is what he wanted to do but sure was hard for me

I am from the Tampa Bay area. I am new to this site as my son will be leaving next month for basic training. I am trying to prepare myself for the leave.

Nothing really prepares you all the way for BC.  My suggestion is to use this site whenever you have questions and need to talk, vent or just cry.  There are some awesome "veteran" moms, wives, etc... on here and they will help you thru.  

I am from Tampa Bay area, I live in Brandon, my SR is at the Great Lakes Boot Camp and his PIR is 6/1/2012.
