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."

10,000 is quite an accomplishment in just shy of the One Year anniversary of the site. But would it be wrong to say... I miss the old days when every post that was made - you seen it cause there just wasn't that many of them?!! Thinking Shell was the smartest women in the room - always teaching us something new!!! She maybe the smartest still...but I know how to use photobucket.com now!!! LOL Or how we could celebrate that first PIR, first letter, first phone call - cause there were so few to celebrate at the time. We've learned, we've grown, we've celebrated - we are Navy Moms!
