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 TexasmomShip13 on January 24, 2015 at 1:07am: Hello y'all! I'm from Killeen. My son left Tuesday for BC. I miss him, but I also am very proud of him! After BC, he will go to Groton for subschool, then A school. He is my only child and I find the seperation a bit difficult. The 18 yrs flew by and I was kinda caught off guard. We have had our 30 second call, now waiting for the box and form letter.

Comment by Homeschoolmomof7 on January 23, 2015 at 11:43pm: I love seeing there are other homeschool moms!!!! I feel not so all alone! My SR is heading to Groton for A school! We are encouraing him to pick a fast attack!! How long have each of your sons been there?? We are a retired Navy family! And Groton was one of our duty stations! I am excited to go visit him there! My SR is not crazy to go because of the winter weather! We are driving up for Boot Camp!! I cannot wait!

Comment by Homeschoolmomof7 on January 23, 2015 at 6:53pm: So cool to see other DFW area moms on here!! We moved here in June from Va. So still trying to get to know the area! My son is in BC and graduates 2/6/15!!! Cannot wait!!!

Comment by Pearl Harbor MA on January 17, 2015 at 9:17pm: We are down to counting days until my son comes home for good!

Comment by mary on January 13, 2015 at 5:42pm: Hello to all the new moms !! I haven't stopped by in awhile. My son is in his 5th month of deployment, so I am in there alot !! Nightcrawlermom, I am in Grand Prairie. I don't usually make it to the dinners, I work at the hospital and am usually working on the nights they go. All the mom's in bootcamp hang in there. It gets easier once you get the I am a sailor call. It is cold up there right now. I am born and raised in Michigan and the wind off that lake is paralyzing !!! Dress warm when you go for PIR hahaaa. Keeping all our sailors in my prayers.

Comment by austin'sproudmomma on January 12, 2015 at 2:49pm: Hi all, I'm from Pflugerville and just joined the site this weekend, my son graduates high school in june we are meeting with his recruiter this weekend. Are there any other mom's in this area?

Comment by sigel on January 12, 2015 at 2:32pm: Hi all. My son is in bc. His pir is 2-6-15 we live in Bastrop and his a school is at Ft Sam Houston. We will get to visit a lot

Comment by Tx Mom of Far Away Nuke on January 12, 2015 at 1:17pm: NightCrawlerMom - Hello Arlington! I lived there for about 4 years. Boot Camp was the hardest. I never received any letters from my Son except for the Form Letter. The unexpected calls were the best though. Send him/her lots of letters! I sent comic strips, letters, pictures of pets printed out on regular paper - anything to cheer him/her up and remind them of home.

Comment by Kylesmom on January 6, 2015 at 10:36pm: Our sailor goes on deployment in March..not sure what to expect

Comment by V's Mom on December 10, 2014 at 3:04pm: It's been a few months that I last posted. We made it through Boot Camp, and Meridian pretty much unscathed. But now that my daughter is flying out to her permanent post, I will truly be leaning on my Dear Lord and Saviour. To all Navy Moms, Bless you.
