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."

Comment by Andy'sMom on July 23, 2019 at 7:14pm: Hi everyone! It's nice to see some activity on this page! I live in the South Bay as well. My DS is in Primary Flight Training in Corpus Christi, TX. He soloed on the 11th and we are heading out for his tie cutting ceremony! Congrats to B'sNukeMoM! We too have a wedding in October in Sedona. Hopefully he will get the time off, or we will be having a face time wedding!

Comment by WestCoastMom SHIP 14, DIV 180 on July 22, 2019 at 5:19pm: Hello, I've not logged in quite a few years. I'm in the South Bay area of Los Angeles. My sailor in for 6 years now and it stationed in San Diego.

Comment by NavyMomJeg on July 22, 2019 at 2:50pm: That's great! Have fun with the wedding. I hope they move closer also, especially if they have kids!

Comment by B'sNukeMoM⚓️MMN(Vet) on July 22, 2019 at 2:42pm: My son is out now - he was a nuke as was his fiancee. Both are in Michigan now going to MSU and finishing up their degrees using their GI Bills. They are getting married here in CA (in Orange) next July. Can't wait! Just wish they would be moving back to CA soon but hopefully at sometime we'll get them closer.

Comment by NavyMomJeg on July 22, 2019 at 1:39pm: Oh fun! My son's been in the Navy for about 8 years now, so I'm over the hump of trying to learn all about what happens at the beginning. Where are you in the process?

Comment by B'sNukeMoM⚓️MMN(Vet) on July 22, 2019 at 1:13pm: I'm in Riverside.

NavyMomJeg - just spent yesterday at the San Diego Zoo! Love it there ;-D

Comment by NavyMomJeg on July 22, 2019 at 12:36pm: Yes, you're right, it's a quiet group these days. I'm down in San Diego County.

Comment by ShellyMarie on July 20, 2019 at 5:37pm: Hello! This group seems very quiet! Are there any So Cal moms still active? Any near Los Angeles area? It would be great meeting other local moms/families.

Comment by B'sNukeMoM⚓️MMN(Vet) on February 9, 2018 at 8:31pm: I know this group isn't very active but just in case anyone is around my nephew & his bride will be playing at Europa Village Winery in Temecula tomorrow from 1-4pm. (5j Barrow). It's a free event. Come on by if you're in the area!
