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."

Hi Caroline! Thanks for friending me! We all need to have someone we can talk to about what we are all going through! Where are you located? I am in Missouri- Kansas City to be exact... Hopefully we can meet at the PIR. Looking forward to seeing our kiddos and seeing all they have accomplished!

Glad I could be of some comfort. Just let me know if you want/need to chat. I know it's a tough time...I'm just a little more settled in to it than you are, but you'll do great at being a Navy mom. :)

Glad to connect with others whoa re "in the same boat" as me with a child who just left for boot camp. At this point we are waiting for his box to arrive.

You'll get a form letter soon if you haven't gotten it already. The form letter can come anywhere from one week to three weeks. So be PATIENT! Start writing your daughter. Number the letters. Use plain white envelope, plain white paper, blue or black ink. No perfumed envelopes, no stickers, no music cards. NOTHING colorful.
