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 evetnaz_CV Mom on April 28, 2013 at 10:50am: Hi Aznavymom .. welcome. My daughter leaves in June. I hope your son is happy with the job he received. Where does he go to school? My daughter will be graduating from Cholla.

Comment by AZNavymom on April 27, 2013 at 7:53pm: Hi Everyone! I'm a newbie here. My son leaves for boot camp on July 30, 2 months after his H.S. graduation. Looking forward to getting to know you all!

Comment by JTFsubmom on April 9, 2013 at 11:31pm: I haven't found any meet and greets in Tucson. They have some in Phoenix but that's kind of far. Maybe we need to figure out ow to start them! I would check with your recruiter about people leaving around the same time from Tucson...I think there's a group in here for kids leaving soon to bootcamp which might help

Comment by evetnaz_CV Mom on April 9, 2013 at 2:09pm: Hi,

My daughter graduates in May from Cholla. Do you know how I can connect with other parents who kid "might" be in her class? Kids leaving on June 25th? I'd like to contact them while our kids are away any meet up in IL.

Also, How do I find a meet and greet in Tucson?

Comment by JTFsubmom on April 9, 2013 at 1:31am: Hi evetaz...my son is in bootcamp right now. He graduates april 26th. He's was scheduled to leave TO bootcamp on April 10th...then got a call in January and he left Feb 27th. It's been tough but I'm so proud of him! We live on the north west side of Tucson...my son graduated from CDO 2 years ago.

Comment by evetnaz_CV Mom on April 8, 2013 at 11:25pm: Just got THE call ... She leaves in June NOT Sept!!

Comment by evetnaz_CV Mom on April 8, 2013 at 2:08pm: Hi Everyone,

Im new to this site and still trying to figure it all out. My daughter just finished up with MEPS and leaves in Sept to BC. So worried/proud of her. Any Tucson moms of daughters that have already been through BC?

xoxo

Comment by Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on March 16, 2013 at 7:47pm: Tucson moms, we are having a meet-up tomorrow, Sunday March 17, and you are invited! I sent out a message to members - here are the details -

Meet at 1:30 p.m. in the lobby of US Airways Center/Phoenix Suns arena, 201 E. Jefferson St, Phoenix for a behind-the-scenes tour by a Phoenix Suns representative; then a light snack and RADM Scott Sanders will talk about today's Navy, and answer questions.

All free except for parking :) The parking garage is entered from the east side of First Street just south of Jefferson.

Feel free to bring your guests! If you can join us, and we hope you can, please let me know, thanks!
