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."

This past Saturday afternoon I went to the Seminole American Legion for a moms Blue Star Luncheon. I received my Blue Star Banner. It was great to meet with other moms. I was the only mom of a Navy son or daughter. All the others were of the Army branch or Cost Guard. If any one is interested in joining me next time I would love for a fellow Navy mom, girl friend, or wife to join me. I had a nice time and am looking forward to our next luncheon...

Sherrill - congrats on son's orders. Happiness happens between bases.
As mom's, it is our right and our duty to embarrass as best we can.

Happy for u Sherrill.... Good luck on the Wedding planning......
I love the idea JB'S Mom on the pictures with the Navy T-shirts... I need to get my daughter one. So when we go to Hawaii we can have one taken with my son..... He hates pictures lol but he will do it for us.......

If I had a daughter that grew out of that tee shirt, I'd go have one made up for her!
I think I WILL go have one made up for me. We have a "Big Frog" store across the street.
Too bad we didn't connect!

I definitely remember the two girls in the hot pink shirts saying "Sailors are Awesome". That's neat that we crossed paths!
Maybe I should have a tee shirt made up that asks in big letters:
"Are You On NavyforMoms.com?" or just says "www.NavyForMoms.com"
I bet I'd run into lots of moms who are!

Yes, Monday. I wore a grey Division T-shirt and was with my son, Peter, who is a large guy. We got on the second shuttle for the 10:30am group. What time was your tour?
While we were waiting, I saw 2 people drop off unused tickets - one was a set of two and the other was 4 tickets!

My son and I were in the 10:30 am tour group. That's so cool that your dad met someone he was stationed with. Wow!!! I saw quite a few older retired Navy guys on the tours.
