This site is for mothers of kids in the U.S. Navy and for Moms who have questions about Navy life for their kids.

Go to "Settings" above to set your Username.  While there, complete your Profile so you can post and share photos and videos of your Sailor and share stories with other moms!

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."

• Don’t Jeopardize the Safety of Our Sailors: Remember OPSEC (Operational Security)
(Don’t Sink Ships With Loose Lips)

This site and all content posted on it are viewable to everyone on the Internet. This doesn’t mean you can’t share things about your Sailor – but too many details can put Sailors in harm’s way.

The following are examples of red flags and should not be shared within this community either by posting or sending via a Group message:
• Sailors’ last names. This includes your username if you share the same last name as your son or daughter. If you scan in a picture of an article that contains your Sailor’s last name, make sure to black it out first. If it is an online Navy article or news article that you are reposting, do not publicly identify the mentioned Sailor as your son or daughter.
• No Sailor addresses, emails, or other contact information. The exception to this rule is FPO addresses.
• Specific dates, times, and locations regarding current or future deployments and ship movements. Do not post dates more specific than by month. Do not post specific ports of call, deployment bases, or future destinations.
• Details regarding training, equipment, and current or future operations or missions. (But Boot Camp is okay.)
• Names or numbers of the Recruit Training Command staff.
• Ways to cheat the system. Navy will see it as a breach of security when you share things like how to bend the rules. We don’t want to jeopardize the safety of our Sailors.
Please do not use first or last names of your SR.

Thanks, sheshe. I didn't think of that. I have a new user name and will be more careful about posted information.

 

if you have used your SR's name as a use rid please change it.
Good Morning everyone!  Please feel free to email me at NavyMominAL@gmail.com  
I created this email specifically for communicating with ya'll so it will not identify my daughter.
I would love love LOVE to know other young women in 12/310 and see if my daughter knows them!
Just emailed you after several failed attempts!  Let me know when/if you got it!
38 days 12/310 Sisters!!!

Woooo Hoooo - cannot wait!  I know it's unlikely we'll see mail until later in the week, but I'm going to the Post Office with positive karma this morning.

 

At least we can start really looking for that mail, now. 38 days!
Anyone else crossing their fingers, holding their breath, saying their rosary (I'm not even Catholic!) and everything else ANXIOUSLY hoping for a letter from their SR this week?????
Angel - yes, Yes, YES!!! I am so hoping for a letter Wednesday or Thursday - my son left 7/21 - earlier than most in the division left so I am hoping to get something soon but am afraid I will wait for his division to fill u[p x 3weeks
