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."

Hello everyone!!! WOW can't believe the day is almost here!! I am tearing up reading all of your post. I am soo glad that I have become friends with you!! Lke many have said when my Son joined the Navy I never imagined that I would be such a part of it. I know in all of his 22 yrs I have always put myself right in the middle of everything that he was involved in guess the Navy is no different. I am so anxious to get his call, that will probably be tomorrow since he probably will do BS tonight. I have been praying for all of you that had SR going through BS last night. We are planning on leaving early thursday morning to travel , and I am really nervous about the roads. I HAVE TO MAKE IT TO GL.!!!!! I can't wait for the Meet and Greet so we can all meet face to face. I have really enjoyed and am very thankful for all the advice and words of wisdom on my journey. Thanks Besty for setting this site up and a BIG Thanks to all the Veterans who have helped us New Moms through out BC. I have already joined the Alumni group and am excited to see where our next Journey takes us! Praying for you all my friends!! I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE MY SON FRI!! May God truly Bless you all!!
