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 the Beyond BC group!! I have left a couple of messages there for you. I know you are busy with many other details at the moment. If you ever need to reach out to me privately, do not hesitate to post a comment on my profile page. I moderate those, so if I think they are OPSEC/ PERSEC, I do not approve them, so they are not visible to anyone else.
You may also send me a friend invite and then we can private message as well. Otherwise, know that there are quite a few of us "seasoned" moms that hang out in that group, to assist as we are able.

SantaFeMom - Now that you have a sailor, I would like to invite you to come join us over in the Beyond BC group. Just click on the blue letters, I think it takes you to the group page with a join button in the upper right side. This is a great group to just come hang out with, stay encouraged, ask questions and be able to mingle with members from all stages of Navy life and areas, not just from your ship or your sailor's rate.

SantaFeMom - Welcome to the BC Mom group. It looks like you have been a part of this site, for a couple of months but just now joining the BC group. We are glad to have you.
My son has been in for 5+ years now and is out in the fleet. We all volunteer our time on this site, so if you don't get a question answered right away, be sure to come back often and check. The best place to ask is down in the Comment Wall section. More people will notice your post there through their email feed than in the discussion area.

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!!
