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."

fue su decicion entrar al navy,y yo la apoye y la apoyare siempre,aunke como madre no logro desprenderme de ese sentimiento de preocupacion,tension,pendiente,de k este realmente bien,y no lo k ella me dice.

kisiera saber si el dia de la graduacion podemos estar con ella todo el dia,y elfin de semana tambien,si les dan permiso ,o no,si puedo comprar el video alla y cuanto cuesta,ojala puedas ayudarme,con eso.

he leido a muchas mamas y coincidimos en muchos sentimientos,ya no siento k estoy siendo algo exagerada al no dejar de pensar ni un seg. en mi princesa.

Welcome to NavyForMoms.com!!

I hope you get all the information here you are looking for.  Please stop by the Survival Guide for New Moms for some of the info to start with.  
If you have a new Recruit and need phone cards for them please check out Calls for Recruits.org and get them for FREE.  I feel that the Family, Loved Ones, nor the Men and Women of our Armed Forces should have to pay for phone calls from Boot Camp.  The link above will take you to the website to send the email for the FREE phone cards if you need them.  Please spread the word if you know of anyone who can use this great service!!!
