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 encourager on November 19, 2015 at 12:59am: Hi RTCsmominnyc, it's always good to connect with Navy Moms. I'm all the way in Suffolk near Port Jefferson. My son went in Feb 2014 and then went to Meridian for A school. Soon after, he went to California where we able to visit hm. Right now he's away on a long deployment but I have my Navy moms to lean back to and laugh with. I don't think there's a Facebook page for New York moms but there's so many, who's to say for sure.

Comment by RTCsmominnyc on November 18, 2015 at 5:02pm: Hi encourager!

I also live on LI..but in Queens County. Where are you at? Is your son/daughter/loved one in bootcamp now? Or have they been serving a while already?

Thanks for getting in touch. Is there a FB page for NY moms?

Comment by encourager on November 17, 2015 at 11:47pm: RTCsmominnyc, I'm on Long Island. Does that help?

Comment by RTCsmominnyc on November 16, 2015 at 8:04pm: Any one from New York City? My son is in bootcamp at Great Lakes right now but would love to get in touch with any moms here!

Comment by spomss on November 1, 2015 at 4:53pm: hi New York mommas!! wow where has this year gone...just getting a few things together to send out to my Sailor-thinking this will be a Christmas box

hope everyone had a safe and good Halloween-had my Navy Mom costume on

Comment by encourager on August 14, 2015 at 11:06pm: I do know about the Blue star Moms Chapter for Long Island. I probably would enjoy their support. But New York Moms, the reality is that I thank God everyday that my son ended up in the Navy versus the Marines or Army. I am aware of the possibility of danger in any branch of military but when somebody says that there child ended up in the Army, I feel like I have to battle not to gasp because that would be horrible. It's a stupid attitude but very strong in my heart. Sounds pretty bad, right?

Comment by ChristineLI,NY on August 14, 2015 at 9:48am: Encourager, lets make plans. PM me on FB.

Comment by HuskyMom on August 14, 2015 at 6:36am: encourager do you have a Blue Star Mothers Chapter near you? If you do, you can meet other Military & possibly Navy Moms in person each month. Right now dues are only $20/year. But they will be raised to $30 8/31. You can go on to www.BlueStarMothers.org to see if there's a chapter near you. You can also sign up online & they will send your information to the nearest chapter.
