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."

I would love to walk in a parade to represent our children. How can we find out about this type of event? Thank you for your responses. I don't fear the word "deployment" so much now. (smiles) I am thankful to be on here with all of you and I am looking forward to getting to know you.

My son is also deployed right now and not in a war zone either. He is a Seabee. Last year he was deployed and it was in Afghan.
Some of us walked in a parade this past Saturday. It was great to see other moms. We made posters with photo of our sons and daughters serving and had them supported in the back of a truck that was decorated with lots of little American flags around them and then the American and Navy flag on the back of it. We passed out candy and NavyforMom brochures. We were approached and got to encourage a mom who hadn't seen her son for two years that was out on a ship. It felt good to encourage her. There was a young Boy Scout that stood at attention and saluted as our truck went by. It was very moving to see his respect for those serving and our flags. Thank you for all that showed up. Was great to get together with other moms that love and miss their kids like I do. Love you all.
