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."

Handling the Twin Bond Relationship at Bootcamp

I wanted to ask about this topic as it has a deep impact on how twins relate to each other. This will be good future reference for other Navy Twin Moms as their sons leave for BC. I only have one…Continue

Comment by Sierrascrapper (ETN2) on July 10, 2013 at 10:11pm: Here is a pic of my husband Bryan and my boys. Nathanael is on the left and Jonathan is on the right. This was taken November 2011. I found a more recent one from last year that I will upload next.

Comment by doubletrouble on July 10, 2013 at 10:07pm: CO-twin, I've gotta get the boys off the dang computer!! One's at work & the other is on the computer... As soon as I can.

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on July 10, 2013 at 10:04pm: My folks lived in Grass Valley but had to move due to my Mom's failing health. She passed away 3 years ago.

Who's twin is artistic? Have you checked Humbolt State? My brother went there and never left!!

Comment by Sierrascrapper (ETN2) on July 10, 2013 at 9:37pm: CO-twin- We lived in Lake Tahoe for 7 years and I miss living up in the trees and I've been a scrapbooker since the boys were 2, so that's where my username comes from. I have used that username for different online profiles since then. And yes the water park in Sparks is awesome! We get to go there next month for my work's company picnic. Can't wait! We are going to Crater Lake for a camping trip next week as my boys have never been to OR and we also want to look at a college in Klamath Falls for Nathanael (twin 1). This has been one busy summer already as we are trying to make all good memories since Jonathan leaves for BC two weeks after graduation.

Oh and thank you so much for forming this twins group. It is nice to get to know other Moms who can relate to the Navy and to the twin relationship.

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on July 10, 2013 at 9:34pm: Double Trouble where are you pics I am anxiously waiting.

The other group I have really enjoy, made life long friends in the Pensacola group. they are going to make a spin off group, as our kids graduate A school, to CHATTY moms

Comment by doubletrouble on July 10, 2013 at 9:28pm: It's funny that y'all both posted that your twins aren't driving yet, neither are mine. They turned 18 in January and have had their permits for a while, but are in no hurry to get their license.
I agree, this group is different and more emotionally attached since we all have more than one kid joining.

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on July 10, 2013 at 9:00pm: Thanks I am glad to have posted it, hope we can recruit (pardon the pun) a few more twin families.

Comment by cathymgShip03Div367&ship11Div383 on July 10, 2013 at 8:06pm: I am loving the pictures!! I kind of love this group the best, it is so much more personal since it is just the few of us!!

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on July 10, 2013 at 4:01pm: Sierrascrapper given your name I figured you were by the sierras. If I drive I could stop in Reno, My boys love your water park in Sparks. If I am on the train it does stop in Reno. I will stay at a time share in Point Arena, CA just south of Fort Brag. I want to go up to S. Oregon to check it out for moving to also for a couple of days.
