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."

I am a proud military Navy Mom with a son who has joined the Navy also into the Nuclear Program!  He is at Great Lakes  Ship 04, Division 149. He will have PIR April 8th.

A little nervous for him but moms always worry no matter what.

I forgot I had joined this group when my son first entered boot camp. Thank you for allowing me to be here. I'm currently needing help finding a mom of an SR that is in my son's division. Can I get that kind of help here? I have a message for her from her SR I have tried 4 other navy pages I'm on and I'm not having any luck. I was told to try here.
