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."

Hi Vickyrun, the hills are gorgeous. I'm up in Mariposa County, just outside of Yosemite. The poppys have begun to bloom and the falls in the park are running, it's absolutely beautiful. Thanks for the welcome.

Welcome BugsMom, I live in the foothills in Amador County. I love the hills!

Paymaster - thank you for the warm welcome and the reminder of how prescious those memories are. My sailor has been in the Navy for over 4 years now. This is his 2nd deployment, the previous one was to Iraq. He is a Corpsman, currently working with a surgical unit in Afghanistan, from what I understand he's working with traumas. He loves what he does and I am very proud of him and all our sailors. I live in the foothills up in Mariposa. I thank God for this website and all my fellow Navy Moms, I don't think I could get through this without you all! Bunkerbee, thank you for the warm welcome and invitation to the meet and greet, I'll see what I can do.

Happy Mom's Day to you all! My son is currently in Afghanistan, this will be my first Mom's Day having him deployed. His previous deployment was to Iraq, luckily he was home for Mother's Day that time. I just joined your group today, so I haven't had the chance to get to know you all as of yet, looking forward to it. God Bless!
