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 momofc.r.15 on June 1, 2014 at 8:08am: Good Morning fellow Mom's. Wow it is the 1st of June already. My Son has been in a full year now. I miss him so much. But He is having such adventures. He also met a wonderful young lady, so I will have a new daughter in law in a couple of weeks.

Have a good day.

Comment by nancynature on December 26, 2013 at 11:59pm: Merry, merry Christmas!!!!

Comment by Debi on December 21, 2013 at 11:03am: Hey all..just wanted to wish everyone a happy holidays! I'm in a split mode for this Christmas season..one twin is coming home on the 26th from DC for 10 days and the other isn't able to get leave and will be at Camp Pendleton for the holidays. So everytime I get excited for one I start to feel guilty because the other isn't going to be home! I don't think there are any pharmacuticals for that or enough therapy to help! LOL At least we got to see the CP twin at his A school graduation 2 weeks ago down in San Antonio...he was honor grad! :)

Comment by Allymcd on November 18, 2013 at 12:45am: My son has been stationed in Bangor, WA since April. He had his wisdom teeth pulled on Thursday. It is so hard not being there to help him. This is also the first holiday season he won't be home. He deploys in mid-December.

Comment by GodBlessAmerica on November 15, 2013 at 1:57am: I haven't been on in what seems forever. This is the first holiday season that my son won't be home. He is making arrangements for his girlfriend to go see him right after the new year. We are hoping to get together for a little family trip in Feb. or March.

Comment by nancynature on November 13, 2013 at 4:58pm: Hi momofc.r15 welcome! It is always such a good feeling to know that our kids are in the 'right' place.

Remember we have a facebook page too. :)

Comment by momofc.r.15 on November 13, 2013 at 10:09am: Hi, Excited that I found this page. My Son graduated Boot Camp July 26th, 2013. Has been in Great Lakes for A School, EM.
