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."

I think it would be great to have a place to post requests, answers, or just general prayers for Class 281 or any pre-bud family. Everyone is Welcome!

Hi 281 family, I hope everyone is doing well. I wanted to let you know that I have started a group called "Drop on Request" with obvious subject. If you have any friends who might be interested, please share the information. The group is set to "Private" so they just have to request membership. Thanks, and
BRAVO ZULU to your sons as they are moving forward toward the Trident!!

Hi everyone! We haven't talked in a long time. Time to turn up the prayers now, I think. I hear these next 3 weeks are really hard. they have to learn a lot of stuff in sequence with no mess ups, it reminds me of pool comps again. prayers for all. lets share any info we get, ok? I think about 10 people were added back into the class from previous rollbacks from this section. Christmas looks hopeful for us to get to bring our guys home. excited for that. southwest airlines is great because you can book the tkts now, then if the dates change for christmas or graduation, then you can use the money spent toward the new tickets. we have tkts for christmas and graduation bought.

Go to the above page and scroll to the bottom to see if this group will be in your area. They want people to cheer them on as they ride across America to raise money for families of SEALS.

Pass this link around to everyone you know. This SEAL bike team left Coronado today to raise money for families. It was shown on fox news today. If everyone on N4Moms gave 10.00 just think what that would do for the fund.... Forward it to everyone.....
