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 Sunnydays! This site is wonderful! I'm sure lemonelephant and ellen0502 will reach out to you to ask questions and provide information. They will usually ask you your son's rate (job he chose) and they will send you helpful information and other groups to join on the site. Hang in there mom. We are all going through it and are here to offer inspiring words.

I know how you feel. My oldest son is in Pensacola now. He had his PIR in July. My younger son ships out Sept 26th. it is hard to see your babies go. You sort of realize that that they will never really live at "home" again. But feel so proud of them. My oldest called me today and I could tell from his voice that he is in a happy place. Meeting new friends that he will have for a lifetime. This a wonderful group that can answer so many questions that you might have concerning your babies.
