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."

Hope everyone had a great Mother's Day! Does anyone know if the Air Force has any type of site like this? My girlfriends son is joining the Air Force after graduation & I told her how much help "Navy For Moms" was for me.

She has to go back to mississippi at some point for additional schooling. It will probably happen next year. My son will reenlist at that point and he will go out to sea. Hannah and the baby will go to miss. Then when he returns she will be sent whereever he is for land duty. They say the navy will work with them. We are near NYC so not sure how we fit in the pic as grandparents getting to see the baby. Think I will be doing a lot of traveling
