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 to All Moms, Wives, Girlfriends who may have a sailor on a frigate. I noticed that there was a nice site for Destroyer Moms (lots of activity there) but could not find one for the sailors on the small ships, frigates with much smaller numbers of sailors per ship. There are a couple of frigates with a moms' sight of their own but little, if any, activity there. Thought, maybe collectively, we could develop a site with lots of sharing and support and develop our own Frigate Moms site. Please stop by often and share with us. This ship assignment is totally new to me and I am sure I will have lots of questions. There may be others out there with the same....and I am sure there are lots of experienced family members out there with oodles of answers, stories from from your frigate sailor's adventures. Here we go, April 2012, let's come together and support each other.

Carebear, I sent you private message following the post below. Everyone have a great day! We are here in HOTLANTA. Where did winter and spring go this year? Certainly not here!

Hey Carebear, welcome and glad to see you found this site. Guess many of our guys/gals are about to complete A-Schools and get written orders. Think I met you at GL night get-together. What is your son's rate or A-School; when does he finish? Good to hear from some of the ones we've met before when we were dragging each other tearfully through those loooonnnnggg 8 weeks.

My son was in Div 949 will finish A-school on April 12th or 13th and has not received orders as of yet. Nice to hear from some of the moms from PIR 10-21-122

I didn't take it in a bad way. Compared to my friends I can't do much. Beanies and scarves just about complete my skills.
Yes MBC is on Facebook. Just became friends today. Check out my page.

I meant crafty in a good way. And I saw those beautiful scarves you made-you got it going on.
MBC, do you have a facebook page?

I am not that crafty. I can make a few things. I enjoy sharing them.

That is so sweet. Thanks. His mom isn't crafty like you. :(

I think I met MBC at a Meet and Greet. Can't be positive though. I showed B a beanie I made for him and now I am making some for D too. :)
