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."

Waiting for my son to come home

My son was sent to ship 5 last week. He had anxiety and wanted to come home. He was told not to sign allowing me access. They told him it would make things longer. He has been there 6 days. I got my first all this morning. How long has the process taken in your experience? He was told 2 to 4 weeks. Some kid just told him he has been there 6 mo ths waiting to talk to legal. Please give me some hope that it will be 2 to 4 weeks

Worriednavymama - I am not a member of the Ship5 group so I can't comment there and I have to leave to take my youngest for his drivers license test. But I saw your posts in the latest activity. I will be praying for you and your son and will try to get back to you when I am home. Navy Mom Hugs! PS. I am one of the ladies that helps out on the BC Moms group answer questions.

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!!
