Also, please do not include your email address in your user name. Go to "Settings" above to set your Username. While there, complete your Profile so you can post and share photos and videos of your Sailor and share stories with other moms!

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 Sarah's mom. Ship 07 DIV 077 on April 10, 2012 at 9:51am: When our sailors go underway, is there any way to communicate with them? Are they allowed to email?

Comment by Sarah's mom. Ship 07 DIV 077 on April 10, 2012 at 8:51am: You have a good day as well!

Comment by spyder013 on April 10, 2012 at 8:46am: Silly me, I called u Sarah not Sarahs mom!:-(

Comment by spyder013 on April 10, 2012 at 8:42am: Gosh Sarah, I am new to this also but thinking u r correct. My daughter said she would cal me Friday, so maybe we can get some answers if no one posts before then. Thinking someone will though;-). Have a good day!

Comment by Sarah's mom. Ship 07 DIV 077 on April 10, 2012 at 5:02am: Is the only way to contact your sailor while underway is through the Ombudsman? I am new to this. My daughter will be going.

Comment by spyder013 on February 27, 2012 at 7:54am: Good morning! It sounds like there are several different dates floating around;-). Guess we just have to wait and see when they realy do go. Has Aaron been deployed before? Being new to this, don't know ins and outs yet. I just know I am proud of them all.

Comment by Tmon on February 27, 2012 at 7:14am: My son, Aaron, is planning on deployment in October. Though, you know the Navy, it may not happen until later.

Comment by spyder013 on February 26, 2012 at 9:44pm: Your daughter is darling, I just checked both of your profiles and saw your cities. I spent a lot of time in your area, used to live in Escondido. Will possibly be overe there probably in April for a week or so, maybe we can meet. And Navymom 10 also;-).
