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 ZebraLady on March 18, 2016 at 12:40pm: marthab and SandyB Thank You!! Very happy to find this page and to here from you ladies. Feeling a little overwhelmed, lots to learn about all this.

Comment by Nukemom2016 on March 18, 2016 at 12:33pm: I am from Ellis County and my son's PIR is 4/22. This morning I watched the PIR and I can't wait to be there and watch it in person. I had chills knowing my son will be marching in like they did. Awesome!!!!

Comment by Nana51 on March 18, 2016 at 12:30pm: Hi EvansMom, my name is Martha and we live in Pearland. Welcome to this group. My grandson is at Great Lakes finishing school. He has gotten orders for Florida at the end of the month. Anything I can help with just let me know.

Comment by Tracysmom on March 18, 2016 at 11:44am: Looking for Aarons mom last name starts with R from texas

Comment by SandyB on March 18, 2016 at 10:38am: Hi EvansMom. You have us now too! I'm from the Missouri City area. My son is in Div 149, Ship 4. His PIR is April 8 and I cannot wait to see him.

This forum has been a godsend to me because I never knew it would be so nerve wracking knowing if they are doing well, etc. The information that is shared is comforting and I feel, all us mothers have a special bond.

Its funny, I travel the world for work but knowing he is going to be doing the same or the fact that he's not here, kills me. We just need to trust that we've instilled good morals and virtues and let them spread their wings and fly....

Comment by harpist mom on March 17, 2016 at 5:13pm: D-Mom, You are welcome to join us at Ziziki's at Preston Forest at 7:00 p.m. There will be at least one or two other moms there who are new to the group. Hope to see you there!
