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."

He should have landed already by now. He is with Sam's sailor. He said he will call agian this afternoon. I formed the group already called The Seaster's! It has an Eagle as the profile pic but would like to change it to our group photo. Do you have one you can text me or email me?

You can't get rid of me that easy!! heehee Well, I finally heard from my son, he txt me from his roommates phone. I have to mail him his ipod and cell. lol

Comment by Cat(Mom of an AO) on January 25, 2011 at 11:44am: Good Morning Everyone! Glance up top at the clock.. 3 days since! HUH! Can't bellieve it came and went so fast.

It started with the meet and greet! Never had a doubt in my mind that the women I have spoken to all this time would be any different then when I met them face to face. An enormous turn out! You ladies are wonderful.

Graduation was an experience I will never forget. It was breathtaking. I had goosebumps and my heart was pounding with excitement. Our sailors walked with such pride. I got the longest and greatest hug that I had been waiting for, for a long time.

I don't see the reason to leave and will start a group on here called the Seasters. So for anyone who wants please search for it!! Hoping to hear from you all soon.

Comment by diannep on January 25, 2011 at 10:48am: nascarnov: You are very very welcome! Lala, Jessica and I love doing this. And now...you all are veteran moms too! So if anyone would like to join us and jump in to help the current PIR groups, boot camp moms, or DEP groups, please feel free!

So glad that PIR was wonderful...it is truly an experience of a lifetime, right? Good luck to you all and your sailors in their future endeavors!

Comment by DebBon / Ship7 Div 052 on January 24, 2011 at 11:08pm: I agree with you Nascar, I loved meeting everyone and I am sad that we all have to find new groups to join :o( I hope we all check in once in a while to see how everyone is doing. It would be really sad if we lost touch with one another, cause we had a great group and the support we had for one another was AWESOME.....

Comment by nascarnov on January 24, 2011 at 8:54pm: Jessica and Dianne Thank you both for all the wonderful advice and support you gave our group. It was wonderful of you to take time to do that for others!

PIR was awesome and incredible! We loved every minute of it, and had a great time with our sailor! I also had a fantastic time meeting all the Navy Moms at the Ramada Meet and Greet. They put on a fantastic party for us, and we all enjoyed it!

Thanks again, Jessica and Dianne!

Comment by TamiS on January 24, 2011 at 8:19pm: Congratulations to our new Sailors and their families. You are all a wonderful bunch of supportive Navy Moms, and it was fun to finally see your beautiful faces at our M&G. I hope we can all stay together and continue to share our experiences. What a blessing it was to have our son for 3 full days. He got to come home and sleep in his own bed, and take long hot showers!
