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."

Navy for Moms Community Guidelines
Hello! I hope everyone is having a wonderful day. Just wanted to post the below article in regards to privacy, how to's, and general happiness of the site. :-) A big THANK YOU to the Navy for Moms Admin for putting this together!
Navy for Moms Community Guidelines
A really good rule of thumb about privacy is that if you don't want everyone and your brother reading it, it probably should not get posted. :-) I say this because I care about everyone, and also my SR is quite concerned about my internet whereabouts due to the nature of his future position, and believes that I should exercise discretion whenever possible. I thought it would be a wonderful idea to share this with my new friends here as well. :-)
Another idea is to keep your profile here private. To make your profile private, please click on MY PAGE then click on SETTINGS on the top right hand side of your profile. You should be able to see a tab called PRIVACY where you can make the changes there. Remember, "Everyone" means everyone in the internet can see, "Members" mean only members of this site can see, "Friends Only" means that only your friends can see.
Lastly - Use the same discretion on your facebook page and any Navy facebook pages you post on (RTC for example) as you would here. Remember, you use your REAL name on facebook so when you mention the same information here with your username it's not too difficult to figure out who you are and essentially who your SR is. Keep you facebook wall and photos PRIVATE so a link cannot be made to you. (a special THANK YOU to monkeymind for letting me borrow her words of wisdom!)
