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."

Hello - I apologize in advance if I am posting this in the wrong section. My son is going to be deploying on a carrier in a few weeks and we're trying to figure out international calling. ATT (our provider) has been ZERO help. I don't know whether we should suspend his number (as I understand they will only hold it for 6 months and he may be out longer). He also recently replaced his broken IPHONE and financed the new one. I am reading forums about the SCRA Act whereby the phone can be paid off if a soldier deploys. I've also read some things about Google Fi and Sapphire. I have many questions and can find no solid answers. I'm hoping my fellow Moms will rescue me. Thanks in advance and again, sorry if I'm posting in the wrong place. xoxo to you all !

Hi all! I'm new to the military. Today is day #13 of OCS for my son and 27 days since he left home (14 day mandatory quarantine). Not sure if the sailors will get their phones back for a Thanksgiving call...I sure hope so. Miss him sooooo very much! Proud Navy Mama!!!

We received our son's package of clothes and it made me laugh. I have a feeling it was the LAST time he will just drop his britches, and pick them up to pack them ever again. No folding, not even an attempt at folding. Looking forward to seeing that sea bag the first time he packs that!! Miss my boy but so stinking proud.
