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."

ABOUT US
NAVYForMoms.com was created for the mothers (and loved ones) of those who are currently serving or considering serving in the U.S. Navy. The site gives members a place to discuss issues with others who share common concerns. Here, content is member-driven. Moms share with fellow moms their questions and concerns, and those with experience provide answers and support. The ultimate goal is to provide an environment of education, understanding, comfort, friendship and belonging for all involved.
On NAVYForMoms.com, there’s truly something for everyone. Our members have formed hundreds of groups. Just do a search, and you’re sure to find one with parents who share your interests, including your Sailors' occupational specialty, ship and homeport or duty station; attending deployments and homecomings; how to pack and send care packages; and members who live nearby whom you may get to know at the meet-and-greet events organized by our members - perhaps by you! See Events at the top of the page.
As a member, you can be one of the many who contribute to hundreds of discussion forums – educating others, lending advice, and sharing stories of our Sailors' experiences, travels, successes and accomplishments. And please…feel free to display the pride you have for your Sailor by posting pictures and videos of them (see these guidelines for security issues) – from graduations, deployments and homecomings to other memorable moments!
