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, I see you have joined New MAA Mom's. Master at Arms is a rating very dear to my heart since my Sailor is an MA. You will also want to join MAA Moms.
Since you have an SR at the RTC, you can change "Waiting to leave for Boot Camp" above to "Enlisted". You may also want to check out Mom’s of Navy Daughters, Mom's of Daughters 2, and Women in the Navy.
Welcome to Boot Camp Moms (and loved ones). I look forward to sharing this journey with you. Check out the Pages (found under the pictures of the Members) for information on what to expect and to help you prepare for PIR. Be sure to check out the discussion, Things to Do in the Last Month Before Your Future Sailor Leaves for the RTC. What is your future Sailor's rating (job/specialty) going to be? There are groups for most ratings and/or "A" Schools and knowing that will help you to better plan for PIR weekend. Take care and blessings to you and yours.
