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 julieb1019 on February 4, 2012 at 9:35am: welcome mareluc. we are all here to support you. My son was in BC last july and now in A school in Gulfport. You will go through many emotions in the next few months. There is a lot of information here that is really helpful too.

Comment by mareluc(Ship11/Div196/PIR 6/29) on February 2, 2012 at 4:20pm: Hello everyone. My name is Maryann. My son is leaving for boot camp on April 26th so I still have some time left with him. I am new to NavyforMoms.com and look forward to sharing everyone's experiences!

Comment by sheryl Navy 2 on January 29, 2012 at 9:30am: Hi Ladies,
I will be moving back to the Buffalo area for a while . I have a corpsman son about to take his first duty in Italy for 3 yrs and another son in BC PIR 3/16 .
Another son in Hawaii and a daughter at school in Alfred NY . So we are scattered about . Anyone in the area ?

Comment by joyce on January 28, 2012 at 8:45pm: Hi all have not been on in a long time.

Vicky read everything you can on this web site. I knew more of what was going to happen to my son then he did. Once he was out of bc life became much easier. He has been in florida, mississippi and is now stationed in Va.

Patricks mom you must be getting ready to go to PIR this week. Have a great time

Comment by Navy mom & wife on January 20, 2012 at 10:01pm: Hi, I'm Holly. I live in Oswego & my son is at boot camp now. His PIR is 2/10/12. He left on 12/08 & the only phone call we've received was the "I've arrived & I'm alive" call. It's okay though, no news is good news, or so I keep telling myself. Our son will be a nuke on subs. He's following in his father's footsteps who was a nuke ET on subs for 20 years. Counting down the days to PIR & looking forward to hugging my boy, with pride.

Comment by Patrick's Mom on January 1, 2012 at 5:36pm: Hi, I'm a new Navy Mom from Rochester, NY. My son left for bootcamp 11/21/11 and has a PIR date of 1/27/12. It's been a tough first few weeks, but his first call home to me on Christmas Eve Day cerftainly MADE my Christmas. Only 4 more weeks til PIR! If I've made it through the first few weeks, I KNOW I can make it through the last few. Hearing my son's voice, and hearing how positive he is, makes it so much easier to bear.

Happy New Year New York Moms!

Comment by Janice on December 22, 2011 at 4:07pm: I would like to wish all of U N.Y. State moms Happy Hoildays

Comment by Invisible12 on October 4, 2011 at 10:47am: Labmom - yes thankfully I received the box right away and the form letter not long after. I actually got to speak with him for 10 min because he needed some info for security clearance and then I just got my first real letter. YAY!!! Congratulations on graduating from Nuke School. That's terrific. Have a great time in Charleston!!!!
