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."

Hello CaliMom  - Welcome to the Boot Camp Moms group. A lot of us "veteran" moms that help out with the group have been really busy with things on the home front as we refer to it. 

In case you missed this post on the group page, here is a link to some information that might be helpful to you - Things to Do in the Last Month before Your Future Sailor Leaves for RTC - Navy For Moms (ning.com) -

When you go to the BC Mom group page, be sure to scroll down through all the information on the page, scroll past the discussions, and below that you will find a Comment Wall like this one. That is the best place to come say hi, introduce yourself, share with us where you are at in your journey, and just ask questions. More of us will see your posts in our email feed than when you post a discussion.

After you find the comment wall - then go back up and start reading through the information that is posted there. 

Also, if you are viewing this site on a mobile device, we recommend you put it into desktop mode. I only log in and post from my computer and it is generally easier to see the screens and get a better feel for maneuvering around this site.

Welcome to NAVYforMoms.com!   

Head to “Settings” on the main page right away to add a profile image (no last names visible, please) and complete your Profile. Then - and this is important! - read these Community Guidelines and this Operations Security (OPSEC) Checklist, for the safety and privacy of all our Sailors.

Then jump right in!  Browse around the site and check out the groups and the information in their Discussion Forums.

Join this group for boot camp moms, where you'll also find a group for your Pass in Review (graduation) date; and this one for PIR Reference Information.  

Get a head start during boot camp by joining groups for, and learning about, your Sailor's occupational specialty and "A" School; and later your Sailor's duty station and/or Navy ship and homeport. You can also join groups for your own state, region or home town and interests from getting ready for deployment to care package ideas!

Please say Hi when you join a group, and feel free to ask any and all questions - everyone was new once, and there is no "dumb" question.  This site was created by the U.S. Navy just for you, and we look forward to getting to know you and your Sailor.  Welcome to the NAVY family - we're so glad you're here!!
