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."

Welcom Navy Loved ones! This site is so helpful for support and finding information and sharing information. Being a Navy Mom and Wife is such an honor. It isn't always easy to wait to hear from them, or to know that they have been, or will be in harms way, but we couldn't be more proud of our boys. The youngest boy said recently, "it feel pretty awsome to be part of something so big, and respected"... He is still in boot camp... My oldest has served three years and is a wonderful young man, who now believes serving their country is something all young men should do. We are so proud of all of our NAVY sons, husbands, daughters and wifes, boyfriends and girlfriends... Please share, ask questions, and enjoy the support provided by Navy for Moms.

Comment by NavyFam (Ship13, Div 321) on October 30, 2010 at 8:52pm: Thanks! He's doing well, he's phased up in A-School so now he gets to where civies, but then last week he hurt his ankle paying basket ball and is "on hold" until he heals up a bit. Nothing serious but still an annoyance. Other than that, hubby is now working in washington, d.c. so it's been tough, he comes home on weekends tho.

Comment by Connie(Memphis Belle) on October 30, 2010 at 8:39pm: Connie--glad your're baaaack...if only for a sec. hope to hear how things are going for you and your cousin-Sailor!!

Comment by NavyFam (Ship13, Div 321) on October 30, 2010 at 8:07pm: Hi Navy moms! I've been ridiculously busy and missing all of you. But as soon as I figure out how to post from a blackberry, I'll be on more.

Comment by Victoria Steven's Mom on October 28, 2010 at 1:27pm: TN Sailormom10 thank you so much for the information because stevens younger brother wanted one and me too and steven did not know how to get anymore and i told him now we can so cheers to you ok seeya

Comment by PatriciaT on October 27, 2010 at 5:55pm: Regarding the newspaper announcement on graduation.... If you have a local community, town, or county paper, they might be more willing to run the announcement than, let's say, a bigger "commercial" paper. At least that way you can get *something* in print until the bigger publication "finds room." In my book, these sorts of announcements should be right on the front page! lol

Comment by DorothyM-seabeemom on October 27, 2010 at 11:56am: I got my dvd yesterday too!

Comment by Victoria Steven's Mom on October 26, 2010 at 1:40am: does anyone know where my son can get anymore div t-shirts we just two more please let me know ok thank you

Comment by SimplyJRB-ADs Mom on October 25, 2010 at 11:06pm: Yes, we got our video over the weekend. We will be taking for my parents to watch this weekend. They will truly enjoy!
Dorothy---I'm with you on the birthday! Tomorrow will be his 19th birthday & also his first one away from home! I too, am a little sad over it. Our Thanksgiving plans are currently on hold, because he has informed us he could be leaving Pcola BEFORE Thanksgiving! Really wants us to go down for the weekend before Thanksgiving. So now we try to make a decision!

Comment by ochaos on October 25, 2010 at 5:30pm: WooHoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The graduation video just arrived!!!!!!!!!!! I am so excited. I hope others are arriving on your doorsteps.

Comment by MidwestNavyMom on October 25, 2010 at 5:25pm: Whaletalkers - Maybe post it again, if you wouldn't mind?? I checked with the RTC and they said it gets sent out to the newspapers via a form the recruits filled out based on the zip code they provided. They said it can take 1-2 months.
