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."

Medicmom thank you I am a single mom too and have gone through 2 deployments . I was so scared when he deployed to Afg and was the happiest when he was back on American soil. The group that truly helped me the past 3 years has been corpsman moms and dads. You will find a lot of seasoned moms and dads there please ck it out... where is your son now ?

Welcome txbabydocmom! Glad to see you here.

Welcome Mikes mom! Glad to see you found your way here. I totally understand the greenside fear of us parents. I can say that I am finding out that it is getting easier the longer he is there. No deployments as of yet for us but it is coming up here all too soon. It will be the first deployment we have to go through. I am sure I can deal with it with all of you gals and guys help. It sucks even more for me since I have to be the strong parent due to the fact that his dad and his dad's family are not very supportive of him with all of this. An fyi his dad and I are not together. I so want to be a mom and break down and cry and rail against it all but I can't. He needs a strong parent for all of this and it is me. I don not mind being the strong parent for him. He knows my fears and does his best to help me out with them. He is always honest about everything with me and that makes it ten times easier to deal with.

Thanks, Marcy, for posting the OPSEC rules. Makes it easier to double check when I am posting.
mikes mom...Is your son interested in being career Navy? I met the instructor who inspired my son the most at SA. He was really down-to-earth.

Hi ! My son is an FMF Corpsman and has been deployed twice and he was greenside for 3 years and is now Blue side and LOVES it : ) ME Too : )
I am proud of what he has done but I love the fact he is now working in a hospital and not in harms way...

Just checking - so none of your corpsmen have been through a deployment yet? Also, I just posted OPSEC rules up top :)

Fortunately my son had a choice and he was not interested in the East Coast for a couple of reasons...one being the humidity and the other is that all of the family (and his gf) are on the West Coast. It's a tough life...bein' on the beach in San Diego but I guess someone's got to do it!
