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."

Life after boot camp
We know that it is hard for all you navy moms whose sons and daughters are headed to or already in Boot Camp! And of course after they have graduated, they will be transferring to a school's command somewhere else in the country. The most important thing you can do for them, besides staying in communication with them, is to pray for them. It's not always easy for them to be far from home either. That's where we come in. If any of your sons or daughters transfer to Virginia Beach/Norfolk, Virginia, we would like you to know that my husband and I have a home away from home in our home to give them a place to go to be part of a 'surrogate' family while away from their own homes and families. Some of you may already know about us and many parents have contacted us to let us know about their children in the navy. Those who have joined us have become part of our 'family' while here and we stay in communication after they leave for other bases in other states. We play games, watch movies, EAT, fellowship together, share stories and help them in any way we can! If your son or daughter comes to this area, please feel free to contact us and let us know about them and also give them our information so they can contact us. And we would be happy to get in touch with them and invite them over for a home cooked meal! :) You can contact us on navyformoms or at our email address. wagner@openbibleministries.com Check out our website: www.openbibleministries.com We have pictures of all those who have been through our home, eating with us, playing games, going to special events, etc.
We are here for them and for you if you have any concerns or questions.
