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 mamawalrus on February 11, 2013 at 2:59am: Hi there.. I am not in NC but my son is stationed there at Cherry Point. He will be coming back from a deployment soon and is looking to buy a used car. Can anyone help us out by recommending a great place to go or if you know anyone personally who is selling a car?

Comment by PamperedMom on January 31, 2013 at 7:54am: Anyone in Southeastern North Carolina who would like to meet others for a great meal and lively conversation, we are having another dinner meeting on Feb 9th at 6:30 in Wilmington, NC at El Cerro Grande in University Landing. Private Message me if you are interest or would like more information on our group!

Comment by Cheryl on January 20, 2013 at 9:47pm: Hey newbies and welcome to the Navy family. It is very hard when they first leave and waiting on that first letter is hard and exciting at the same time. There are pretty proud moments and tears.

Comment by Oceanby on January 19, 2013 at 6:02pm: Hi Ladies! Welcome to the NC Moms page! There are a lot of us New Hanover County moms who gather once a month for fellowship and fun. It's a great time together. As you find moms in your area, why not do the same. My son has just finished A school in Great Lakes and is soon to continue is his education in Mississippi. We are a family here and are here for you. We have all stalked the mailman and worried ourselves silly! You all will be so proud of your sailor. They have made a great decision, just start picking out your "Navy Mom" attire! Give us a note when you make it towards the beach, maybe you can fit in dinner with the group!

Comment by Minemom on January 19, 2013 at 3:53pm: Hi there..Gaston County (sadly lol) here. My son is in the Delayed Entry Program and leaves for BC 2 weeks after he graduates high school, June 24th. Trying to savor every bit of time we have left with him :). From what we understand, he'll be in the GL for BC and then San Diego for A school. He's a mineman.

Comment by countrymom on January 19, 2013 at 3:15pm: Hey girls, I am in Cumberland County. Mine graduated BC in November, is in GL now for A school.

Comment by julie on January 19, 2013 at 1:50pm: Hello everyone, My son left for BC Jan. 3rd--I really miss him. Waiting on first letter from him. Mailman thinks I'm a stalker!! Well kinda am. This is a lot harder than I thought!! This site helps so much.
