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."

Welcome Home to our sons & daughters! I wish that I could be there to welcome them home but like most mom's on here I am very excited to be able to have my sailor home for Christmas! May all the families traveling to Hawaii for the homecoming have a safe & fun trip. Let our sailors know we love them & that we are extremely proud!

Hi--haven't been on in awhile; but I too wish I could be on that pier to welcome home my son. This site really helped me when the deployment first started & I made a good friend with one of the other moms. She is able to be in Hawaii & hopefully will send me some pictures of the homecoming. Thank you to everyone who gave words of encouragement & I too look forward to the holidays & seeing my sailor. Happy Holidays to all you military families!
