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."

Sandra - Welcome to the Beyond BC group! We are glad you are here. I see you are from TX, I am just north of you in OK. There is a TX group on here, I am not sure how active it is, but we have several moms in our other group who are from TX as well, so you might want to comment on that in our group. Texas' Moms - Navy For Moms (ning.com)
Also, feel free to send me a friend request if you would like.

Sandra - Congratulations to your son!!
Be sure to come join us in Beyond BC if you haven't already. Also, now that you have a sailor, be sure to change your profile above to Enlisted on your sailor's status.

Hello Sandra - I apologize for never getting to your profile page and posting a welcome to the BC Mom and Loved ones group. I am glad that you found your way there, and that you have been participating.
Congratulations to your son!! I wanted to make sure I invited you to come join another group that I created to help keep everyone together for those who have a sailor or completed PIR - Beyond BC - Navy For Moms (ning.com) - Now that you have had the sailor call, you are welcome to join. We are a mix of everyone from Covid days until the present who post as they are able but it is a great place to just continue with Navy mom support and encouragement. It is also where I reach out to many and call on our Navy Mom Posse (a story from the Covid days) to help answer questions on the BC Mom group page. And it helps to keep us connected to the new members in that group.

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!!
