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."

It's May 27th!!! Did you ever think you'd make it to this day? My Sailors PIR was last week (21st) and it was one of the best times of my life. I hope you are with your Sailor now and having a glorious time.
Hooyah!

You are not alone. Having a son (or daughter) in boot camp is a lonely experience. Your son is a handsome young man and kudos to you for raising him to be a fine sailor!

As a new member, you will have many questions. Join the New Moms Stop Here group immediately. For new members, this group will be your safe haven - we will support you through those tough weeks before, during and after boot camp. We have members with various experiences and skills available to help you. PLEASE NOTE: Especially read this BE ON THE LOOKOUT. PRACTICE HAVING "SAFE" FRIENDS. Kayleigh and Gloria are gone now but there are other people to beware of. You should have at least one “conversation” with a person before you accept them as a friend. NOTE: this is not an auto-generated message. You are getting this message from a real live Navy mom.

If Your Username appears to contain your last name or your email address you may want to change it AND your web address (URL) above so they do not include your last name or your email address to keep everyone safer. See http://www.navyformoms.com/group/newmomsstophere/forum/topics/if-your-user-name-contains to tell you how to do BOTH. Blessings to you and yours.
