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."

Hi Single Moms,
I just found this group. I have been divorced for four years. My daughter, Chrissy has been in the Navy since May 2008, she is also a single Mom. I live in California, she is in A school @ GL. Her son, my only grandson lives with his father, about an hour drive from me. I have found this site very helpful. I am on here everyday. Navy Hugss ~ Vicky
