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."

Karen, it's okay to talk about the ship your Sailor is assigned to. You just don't want to talk about when and where the ship is going (ship movement). You can talk about where the ship has been and what your Sailor did. Just remember everything in the past tense....

Jackie: We'd love to meet John. Especially Mary, since she's already met you!! I'll have to ask Molly if Colton will be joining us, maybe it would be easier for John knowing other shy Sailors will be there too!!! lol

Jolene: Our Sailors are both in the Iwo Jima Strike Group.....their homecoming dates are probably pretty close....

JM: are you sure your son isn't giving all his attention to someone much, much younger than me, Molly & Mary????? lol

Molly (Adopt a Sailor), Mary (Nick's Mom) and myself will be meeting in Norfolk on Sunday March 29th. We'd love the opportunity to take some of "our" Navy Moms' Sailors out to dinner. If you think your Sailor would be interested let me know. (They may have to give us a hug....) I met a Sailor in Phoenix last week, didn't know him from Adam, and made him give me hug because he reminded me of my Sailor. He was in his dress blue's on top of it.....lol

Willette: when will you be back home? And is the Bush in Norfolk right now? I know these are goofy questions, but I'm up to something that involves Sailors stationed in Norfolk and taking them out to dinner......
