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."

Profile Information
- A little about me:
- I am a mother of two children my son will be 21 in July and my daughter just turned 18 and December my daughter is the CO of her ROTC unit at Scarlet Oaks she's in two programs at the technical school for firefighting and the SPN nursing program. I am very proud of both of my children and all they've accomplished. I myself have had medical issues over the last 15 years on and off so needless to say my children are very much a part of my life as well as my husband, parents, family and friends. I have quite a few family members and different branches of the military and my daughter Will be swearing in this Thursday, April 30 to the navy I am very honored and proud of the path she is taking. This journey is definitely a new one for me because it is my own child I have lots of questions. However I am great with support I always try to find time for others and help when I can and I like to be involved as much as I can with anything my children are doing, so please keep that in mind if there's anything I can ever do while being in this group please don't hesitate to ask.

Dominique'sgirl,
I see you recently joined the Moms of Daughters 2 group and I want to welcome you!! I'm glad you found us. So your daughter is in boot camp now? Come join the chat in our group - there is usually someone on every day. We are a friendly, caring group of moms who have daughters in all stages of Navy life - from newbies to those whose daughters have been in for several years - from officer to enlisted!!! We support all our sailor girls and each other as well. Not just during the bootcamp days but the weeks and months following, as they go off to school, first duty station, or first deployment. Let us support you when you're missing her, lend an ear when you need to vent, and celebrate with you when you want to brag!! We look forward to getting to know you and your sailor!! Again, Welcome Aboard!!!!
Welcome to Boot Camp Moms (and loved ones). I look forward to sharing this journey with you. Be sure to check out the Pages (found under the pictures of the Members) for information on what to expect and to help you prepare for PIR. Start with OPSEC and PERSEC (Making Changes to Your Profile) and Arrival and What Happens at the RTC and read 1 or 2 pages a day and then go back to them as you need the info.
What is your recruit's rating (job/specialty) or field 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.
Mom's of Daughters 2 is more active than Mom’s of Navy Daughters.
Don't forget to make the changes below.
There are 13 divisions in the 09/11/2015 TG. so there are only 3 guests for PIR. See http://www.bootcamp.navy.mil/upcoming_grads.asp.
Gean, I see you have changed your Username so that it no longer contains your full name; you also need to change the URL to this page. Make change 2 at the bottom of OPSEC and PERSEC (Making Changes to Your Profile) (clickable link) to take care of that. (If you are using a Smart phone, you will need to switch to Desktop View to make this change.)
Also make change 3 while you are there so that this page is no longer open to EVERYONE (Anyone) with access to the web.
There may be other changes you need to make as well, so read and consider each of the changes.
Another change that I recommend that is mentioned in change 1 is to change the ZIP code to one that is not easily associated with your loved one.
You are very welcome.
