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."

Rhiannon - Welcome to BC Moms group! As Partyofseven said, please come over to our main BC Mom page and post a comment, introduce yourself. She did not mention it but Partyofseven is also from AZ!  My sailor has been in the Navy for three years as well and we just stick around to encourage those of you going through BC with your SR (Seaman Recruit.)

Welcome Rhiannon,

It is great to have you on here. When you can come on over and post on the main page. There is a lot of wonderful women on there that we help each other out as you go thru this journey. Also, tell us about your self and where you are in this journey.

There is also great information that talks about what to expect during boot camp. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask. No question is ever dumb. Someone will answer.

I help out as well. Mine has been in for almost 3 years. With this COVID there's things that are run differently but we are all learning from our new moms as we navigate thru this. One of the moms is working on a timeline for COVID and how it affects boot camp now. As soon as that is done she will post it for us.

Welcome again.

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!!
