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."

My son has an apartment in Virginia Beach. He has lived there since he got out of boot camp. Be sure you go watch the sun rise one morning on the beach - it is beautiful!!

Welcome all our new moms!! I can't believe we have over 1400 members here! I remember getting member 100 - I had to beg a friend from Arizona to join us!!
My son will be home from his last deployment in just a few days! Home for good in just a few months after five years of service!! I just cannot wait! I am going to see him (Virginia) this summer!
New moms: any questions - just ask! if we don't know - we probably know someone who does!

Today is my sailor's last day home and it looks like I will end up having to spend it at the hospital again with my Mom instead. He leaves fairly early in the morning tomorrow... :(

Welcome to all of the new moms who have joined lately! I hope your experience with the Navy is as positive as mine has been! Our son has been in for around 7 years now and we have had such good experiences. His enlistment is up early next year and he is thinking of not reenlisting.
Ladies, just look forward to the next few years.
