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."

Diahn - Thanks for sharing on Happynurse's discussion and giving your sailor's experience with post PIR travel.

Diahn, congratulations!! Now that you have "the" call, you may join the Beyond BC - Navy For Moms (ning.com) group, either now, or after PIR. This is sort of the extension group for anyone that would like to just hang out with anyone that has been through the BC group, 

At 10:12am on March 17, 2023, Chipmunk said…

Diahn - I saw your post on the BC group and I was just going to mention that I also homeschooled my sailor as well.

Diahn - Welcome!! I see you have joined the BC Mom and Loved Ones group. We are glad you have joined us. I encourage you to come to the group and say hello. The main group is followed by several of us whose sailors are now at school or in the fleet, but we stick around to help answer questions and offer encouragement. The more that is posted down in the comments area, the more we will reply to you there. 

You may also join your PIR group which B'sNuke Mom post the links for those fairly regularly. The PIR groups are private and most of the "seasoned" moms do not participate in those groups. 

When you go to the BC Mom group page, be sure to scroll down past the information area, past the discussions and towards the bottom you will find the Comment Wall. That is the best place to post questions so that more of us who follow the group will see your post. 

How long has your SR (seaman recruit) been at BC?

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!!
