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."

Comment by SusanES on July 24, 2013 at 4:49pm: OK Ann Marie! I will get on the two Florida Navy Mom facebook pages I joined the other day and advertise a date, place and time to see if anymore Moms in our area would like to join.

What date, place and time do you suggest? I have only been here six weeks.

Maybe a Sunday evening?

Comment by aster on July 24, 2013 at 4:28pm: SusanES - would love to meet....

Comment by SusanES on July 24, 2013 at 4:20pm: Ann Marie- I am Palm City!

Hello Florida Navy Moms!

How interesting that many of us are new to Florida. I am too. Just moved here from Kansas. My daughter is in Officer Candidate School in Newport RI. She will be a Sea Bee. (Civil Engineering Battalion)

East Coast Navy Moms! Let's schedule a get together....

Comment by aster on July 24, 2013 at 10:35am: Ann Marie ~ I am in Stuart, opposite coast, but I think there is a group of moms near you that meet. LaLa ( ribbon lady visits your area in the summer, she was there earlier in the summer and plans a get together when she is there). I lived in Tampa in the early 80's very nice over there!

Zachsmom94 ~ welcome to Florida!

Comment by NAVYmommadukes on July 23, 2013 at 9:06pm: Hi everyone! I live in Orlando and my son will be heading to boot camp August 6th 2013...i am new to the website and would love to be able to share stories and advise...

Comment by zachsmom94 (Ship 3 DIV 338) on July 23, 2013 at 2:15pm: Does anyone know of or partake in meet ups or get togethers in Cape Coral? I would love to meet other moms who are going through the same situation. I also just moved to this state and do not know anyone, which makes this transition even more difficult. My SR graduates 9/6.

Comment by Ann Marie on July 6, 2013 at 8:30pm: Actually, my son is headed to his boat (that is what they call submarines) - he is a Missile Technician on a submarine. His boat is currently in dry dock in Norfolk and (USS Maryland SSBN 738).

We do love Clearwater. Most all of our family has been down here for quite sometime, we are just following their lead!

Comment by janieflorida on July 6, 2013 at 7:32am: Clearwater ia a beautiful area. Don't forget sailors sail on ships and the ships are always referred to in the feminine gender.

Comment by Ann Marie on July 5, 2013 at 8:35pm: I'm in Clearwater. We just moved here a couple of months ago. My son just finished his schooling and is headed to his boat. He has been in since May 2012. His older brother is in the Marine Corp, he left Sept 2012. Our house emptied very quickly and we found ourselves ready for retirement. So we moved to Clearwater.

Comment by bluesarasota on July 5, 2013 at 10:38am: Florida Mom - Yes, my son is on the USS Boise. I think that the boys are friends. Are you on the SW Forida Facebook group?
