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."

Hi again, YES, I'd love to get together and it'd be fun to visit with someone whose son is in the same program.  I'm also an empty-nester as he's also my youngest.  Definitely been an adjustment......still working on it and he left in 2009.  :o(

I'm your neighbor......off of Hwy 290 and FM 973 near Manor......the photo's from RSS came from my son who got them from some of the instructors and fellow students who took pics during that time. How exciting your son does his first helo jump today!  YAY!!  My son had FRAC in San Diego....he was Romeo.  Is your son Romeo?

Hi there!  Very excited for you guys on your son's completion of RSS....and you get to go see him?  YAY!  Enjoy your trip - we were there last summer and it's a very pretty place.  My son has finished FRAC and comes home next week for 7 days.

Hi there!  Today my son graduated from FRAC in San Diego.....so proud of him.  He's waiting to hear when he goes to SERE......he knows he will be living in Norfolk.  So, right now, it's a matter of being told when to go to either SERE or Norfolk.  It is pretty amazing isn't it?

I'm in California and my son left in August...he was part of the DEP training. Has your son left yet? What ship, what division? PIR?

In regard to blue candles, when our boys are scheduled for Battlestation, I've heard it is tradition to light a blue candle for 12 hours...and I guess we pray real hard that they pass.


T-shirts, I will have to find the link and forward.

Welcome to N4M. Your key to adjusting is finding a group where you can feel comfortable and get answers to your questions – Click on the underlined links:
1. New Moms Stop Here group. You should think of this group as your orientation station. We do have a number of experienced members who can answer questions and point you in the right direction.
2. Depper’s… in but not yet . is a group for those just waiting for bootcamp to start (Delayed Entry Program – a depper)
3. Boot Camp Moms group. Is he/she already in bootcamp? Or just about to go in? This is the group.
4. OCS Graduate Moms or the NROTC Moms. For those going to be an officer or going to NROTC?
Read this blog to get a jump start on how to use the N4M site.
Welcome to New Members
Of particular importance is the use of the “Search” function. You should do searches in blogs, forums, discussions for answers in previously posted threads BEFORE adding a NEW blog/discussion. Finally, it takes time to learn how to use this site. Be patient. Check your page & status box often.
Best of luck, BunkerBee and AbbyblueOK (from the New Moms Stop Here Group)
