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 CO-TwinSalorsMom on December 23, 2015 at 12:30pm: Welcome to the Nukes Dawn. Enjoy your kids all who have then home. Mine is deployed this year. His twin is coming home on Monday.

Patti,,,I went to a homecoming once, it is thrilling. still remember the moment I saw that ginger head pop up on the gangway. I then lost him in the crowd and he hoped up behind me like magic. Fun.

Funny Santa Post.

Comment by JayDee659 on December 23, 2015 at 11:33am: Good morning ladies. My gal is home and I'm trying to enjoy every minute as I know that there will be plenty more Christmases to come without her. Hugs to all of you whose sailors cannot make it home. I'll share with you my daughter and her puppy (the puppy was super excited to see her little girl again).

Comment by B'sNukeMoM⚓️MMN(Vet) on December 23, 2015 at 11:26am: Hi all - Happy Wednesday!

PattiP - woohoo!!!!! So glad you were able to make it for the homecoming! Can't imagine backing the ship in....that sure must have been a sight to see! Glad you got to spend time with him and enjoy your visit when he comes home next month ;-)

Welcome Dawn - be sure to read the pages (9) to the right under the member profiles. Lots of good info there. And if you don't find something feel free to ask!

PacNWmom - enjoy your visit with your sailor!

I'm sending big NMH's to all - to those of you that have your sailor with you - enjoy (and get extra hugs). For those of us that won't have our sailor, well even bigger hugs!

Comment by Dawn on December 23, 2015 at 10:14am: My son arrived in great lakes on 12/14. He is going nuke. I found this part of the site just this morning and thought is see what new info I can find on here. I have an address now for my son, ship 03, Div 98 grad on 2/05 Would be nice to know other moms are going thru the same thing I am worrying about my son around the holidays and see other families who's loved ones are going nuke. Thanks for having this site.

Comment by PacNWmom on December 22, 2015 at 10:33pm: Hey y'all! My sailor is home from Power School for 2 weeks. YIPPEE! I hope those of you with sailors in the house are soaking up the love as I am. I'm sending lots of thoughts and love to those of you who will be without yours these next couple of weeks. Whether you celebrate Christmas or not, There is a lot of focus on family at the end of December and it's hard to be without loved ones.

I want to update y'all on my quest to find my sailor "something he wants" for Christmas. First of all, thanks so much for all your suggestions, they were incredibly helpful! I ended up putting together a little box with some food things: A gift certificate to his favorite restaurant in Goose Creek (Sushi 101), his favorite candy (Jelly Bellies), a tiny bottle of balsamic vinegar I brought back from Italy for him, and a couple of food items he can't find in GC.

Ironically, after bugging him to give me ideas for over 2 months I woke this morning to find a list outside my door that says, "Undies, Scarves, Electronics". Too late, kiddo.

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on December 22, 2015 at 4:20pm: Love the tree post.

Comment by B'sNukeMoM⚓️MMN(Vet) on December 22, 2015 at 12:52pm: Hi all - Happy Tuesday!

Comment by B'sNukeMoM⚓️MMN(Vet) on December 21, 2015 at 12:03pm: Hi all - Happy Monday!

Wow - I can't believe - 3 years ago today we were at PIR! Boy the time has gone by fast.....I know there's a couple other mom's on here that were at the same PIR.....
