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 tsufish on June 29, 2017 at 11:50am: Texasmom77 and Tx Mom of Far Away Nuke - I live in south Ft Worth - almost Crowley. We should get together sometime. My son is also a Nuke and is almost half way through his 3 years.

Comment by Tx Mom of Far Away Nuke on June 26, 2017 at 11:41am: USS Mom Crew - Welcome! Even though boot camp was 3.5 years ago, I still remember hugging my son goodbye right before he left. It was very difficult for me. But we made it through. You'll find a wealth of information at this web site. The support is fantastic.

Comment by Tx Mom of Far Away Nuke on June 26, 2017 at 11:39am: TexasMom77 - I'm about to move to Crowley right at the Burleson/Crowley border. I can't wait to shop at the HEB! Congrats on your daugther joining the Navy and good luck on the adventure ahead of you both. I'm amazed at the places my son has gone, even the ones he can't tell me about. :)

Comment by Texasmom77 on June 22, 2017 at 9:31pm: I live in Burleson, which is about 30 minutes southwest for Fort Worth. Been here all my life. My daughter has been at boot camp about 3 weeks now, and Thursday has become my favorite day of the week. We are beyond proud of her. She has wanted to join the Navy since middle school.

Comment by FirsttimeNavymom on May 16, 2017 at 2:04pm: Hi Quinton1! My baby boy, well not really a baby but to me he is lol, just graduated A School and is awaiting orders/transfer. He's a GM. Not sure yet where he will end of, he too signed a 6 year but hoping for the best. I'm in La Porte, about 30 minutes south of Houston. I had an aunt from Seguin not sure if she still is that's been some time ago. Anyway, yes, extremely proud is an understatement. If there's you need, just holler! Welcome aboard.

Comment by Quinton1 on May 16, 2017 at 1:37pm: Proud Navy Mom. Live in Sinton Texas but from Seguin Texas. My son, after his 2nd year of college, decided the military could pay for the rest of his schooling. He joined, and signed a 6 year contract. He's an ET and has been in about a year and a half. He leaves for Japan tomorrow after a 3 week long leave at home. Needless to say, my anxiety level is off the charts! Extremely

proud yet filled with some fear. It amazes me how much The Navy has changed my 22 year old. He's always been driven yet had a bit of a wild side. Much like his Mother! I'd love to have some support form other Texas Moms.

Comment by Tx Mom of Far Away Nuke on May 12, 2017 at 9:32am: Welcome to N4M Greek Mom! We're glad to have you.

Comment by Greek Mom on May 11, 2017 at 11:22pm: Texas Proud! New Braunfels area and Lake McQueeney area in Texas! Home of the Wurstfest and Schlitterbahn! My son is at Boot Camp right now and I could not be any more proud of him! Counting the days until PIR until we see him again!

Comment by Mary Ellen on May 11, 2017 at 6:16pm: Best Mother's Day gift ever! I received two letters in this mornings mail.

Comment by kimberlya on May 8, 2017 at 11:27am: Our kids left the same day! Our son is the oldest of 4 and the first to leave the nest. We are a new military family and we learn something new everyday! Did you get the form letter?
