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."

Terry, Where is Ft. Gordon? My daughter is married to a Coastie stationed at St. Mary's, GA. Just wondering if there were close...I'm in Morrisville (Durham county but Morrisville city).

Durham mom with a sailor stationed at Ft. Gordon. If anybody nearby has a sailor there also, maybe we could share rides to GA for visits. He'll be there for quite a while. It's a little too far for a day or two visit for him, so he doesn't get home much. I love to get out of town to visit!

Welcome Suzanne, I'm in Graham, work at UNC. My SN just graduated ET "A" school with honors on the 13th. He PIR's Jul 22, 2011. If you haven't already found it, there is a PIR group and maybe even a specific one for your SR's date. That will allow you to get to "know" some other parents that you may meet in Chicago. Have a blast while ur there.

Hi North Carolina Moms, On Molly's Adopt A Sailor website, I received a message from the Ombudsman for the Greenville. There is a sailor's wife who is pregnant and due in July. Are there any moms in Asheville who could give her a helping hand when the baby is born? Maybe supply a few meals or visit her? I have also posted this on the "Sailor Rescue List" and some moms there would like to send her a "mail shower." Thank you.

Hello IBeeTunechiLee'sMom! I'm hoping my son gets Norfolk when the time is right (after school) but as long as he is happy, I don't care where he's stationed. Glad to meet you.
