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."

Profile Information

A little about me:
Working Mom with a wonderful son in the Navy
I am here to support my
Son/Daughter
Stage of (Sailor’s) Navy career?
Enlisted
When I heard “Navy,” I...
needed to learn more about it, was proud and encouraged it, had concerns or fears
The Navy offers opportunities that...
Hurry up and wait. Not a lot of consideration for parents. One woman (luckily not me),drove 12 hours to attend her son's Great Lakes graduation only to find out he was not graduated. Ouch! But not a-typical of Navy's lack of consideration. But I know it is not their job to coddle parents, but still, some common respect and consideration would be appreciated. For example, if you have to go to the ladies room while waiting in your car for your son to go on liberty at 6:00 am, good luck! No facilities.
Our Navy experience so far...
has presented us with many questions.

Welcome to Navy For Moms!!!  I'm glad you are here.  I am also forwarding a welcome message from our website admins.  Welcome Aboard!!

NAVYforMoms Admins

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.

Not sure from your profile page if your sailor is already past boot camp!!  If so, disregard this paragraph, or you can still join this group for boot camp moms, where you can be a source of information for those new moms looking forward to this group,  PIR Reference Information.

Then you can start 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!!

Your NAVYforMoms Admins
