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."

If you need more info check the "Inland Empire of SoCal Navy Moms" group. Hope to see you there!

I could use a big NRMs hug right about now. Took the boy to airport this morning, and it sure hurts.

Trisha'

Here is the N4Ms box of tissue, becuase I am right there with you! Mine leaves in a few weeks.

It was so wonderful to have this old house noisey again, and now, it is soooooooooooooooo quiet, Well just have to pull myself up and get on with life and work, etc. He'll be back before I know it.

Lynn-Many congratulations to your son and new daughter in law. Enjoy this day, and remember your dad with peace.

My guy is home right now. Its weird having boy noises in the house again, after many months of just me rambling here alone but it is so wonderful to have him home.

Comment by bittersweet914 on June 21, 2012 at 3:15pm: Hi everyone! My boyfriend recently joined the navy, he is due to leave October 29th 2012, but his recruiter put in a request for him to leave early so that's sorta stressfull. Everytime his phone rings I'm on edge not knowing if that could be the call that will instantly take him from me. On the up and up I look forward to meeting new people who understands my situation.

Comment by B'sNukeMoM⚓️MMN(Vet) on June 5, 2012 at 11:11am: Hi Bellamom2 - my son leaves on 10/23! I'm just trying to figure out how they handle PIR dates with it being so close Christmas..... anyone have any idea?

Comment by Pentwater98 on June 5, 2012 at 10:07am: Hi Bellamon2.. Please feel free to ask any questions you have.. There's a lot of awesome moms on here that will help you through this....

Comment by Bellamom2 on June 4, 2012 at 8:58pm: Does anyone have a son/daughter leaving Oct. 11th ???

Comment by mtnmom on May 11, 2012 at 3:40pm: Kendra--

My son is out of port now, so I don't think I'll be getting a call on Sunday either, but I will get to see him in a few weeks.
