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."

Donna,

I am so sorry this message is late, I was gone for 3 family events from the middle of November until just last week!!!!  I forgot what my home looked like!!!  But I see you joined the Moms of Daughters 2 group and I want to welcome you!!!  Come join the conversations on our group page - we are a friendly, caring group of moms who have daughters in all stages of Navy life - from newbies to those whose daughters have been in for several years - from officer to enlisted!!! We support all our sailor girls and each other as well. Not just during the Bootcamp days but the weeks and months following, as they go off to school, first duty station, or first deployment.  Let us support you when you're missing her, lend an ear when you need to vent, and celebrate with you when you want to brag!!  We look forward to getting to know you and your sailor!! Again, Welcome Aboard!!!!

Good Morning Donna, We are glad you have joined N4M. I see you joined the BC Mom group and I encourage you to follow the link on the left here to the BC Mom group. Be sure to scroll down most of the way past the information, and the discussions and find the comment wall on that page. It is easier to navigate if you are using a computer versus a mobile device. 

You will want to say hi and introduce yourself in the comment wall on the BC Mom group as that is where most people will see your post. 

My son has been in the Navy for over 3 years now and is currently in the fleet as a Nuke. I as well as other "seasoned" moms stick around in the group to offer encouragement and to help answer questions.

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!!
