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."

Welcome to the Navy & NAVYForMoms.com
Hi moms, here's a new video from Rear Admiral Robin Braun. Who is she you ask? RDML Braun is our NAVYForMoms.com spokesperson. This site is very near and dear to her heart. She's a mom and served as the Navy as Deputy Commander at Navy Recruiting Command in Millington, TN. She's been in the Navy for 27 years, currently in the Navy Reserve. RDML Braun is a pilot and has flown the Navy's big aircraft like DC-9s and EC-130Qs (for her full background, see the link below). You may see more from her from time to time at events and on the site. Several of our members have had a chance to get to know her. Hopefully, as this site continues to grow and our events spread around the country she'll be able to join in again.
This video is part of a series. Next to come is one dedicated to A/C School. Hopefully, it will give you some insight so you'll know what your Sailors can expect in their next training position. Look for a poll to hit the site in the next few months. We'll be asking you for additional video topics.
Here is her bio on Navy.mil

I haven't watch this before and with 75 days left in my sons four years enlistment, this still brings tears to my eyes. Thanks for being there for my son when he needed a new positive direction for his life. I will forever be grateful. Thanks so much for giving my son a bright future.

Ask your question regarding streaming graduation on the recruit command training website. I am sure they will tell you. This website is very helpful and they do respond to our concerns/questions. https://www.facebook.com/groups/118916228025/

I do not believe anyone monitors this page so if you have questions find another Navy page to ask on or call the recruiter.

Our son is graduating today 8/26. We live on the Delmarva Peninsula, MD and have Hurricane Irene on our doorsteps. With that said and a suggestion to ponder for those who aren't able to attend their love ones graduation due to finances, emergencies with weather, family so on and so forth. Is it possible in the future to have a live stream of the graduation so all families can celebrate? It could be done on a secure server. Just a thought, I do know that our Navy has much more important issues to address. This is just a suggestion. And we also would like to thank you for taking our son and making him into the man we raised him to be. Debera

It is my understanding that the Navy video tapes the graduations from bootcamp. I have searched the NavyforMoms web site pages looking for the link to order. Thanking you in advance for providing the link to me.
