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."

Kathryn,
I'm so sorry - what does your son do? My son was an AO and did two deployments once on the Geo Washington and once on the Enterprise. It can be stressful. I will certainly keep you son and all the shipmates in my prayers. Is it a 6 month deployment and is your son ship's company?

Cynthia...What is the site for the pictures? Sounds like that something I might just be interested in.

Cynthia, sounds like a good idea to me. Debbie is also wanting to get together and may be able to add another Navy Mom.

Hi Cynthia:
I'm interested, but my sailor will be home for 2 weeks during that time, so I'll have to see what is going on that day. I have a co-worker who would like to come, too.

Any chance of the Navy Moms in the Columbus area getting together? Any Moms in the Ohio area with a sailor on the U.S.S.Monterey?

Melani,
Catherine had a job before she went in and would pretty much spend everything she made. She saved a little but not much. But since being in the Navy (and making more money) she still spends like crazy. Now some things have been important big ticket items like a computer and some stuff for the apartment, but she needs more clothes like I need another *********!!!
