OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

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."

If you go to the boot camp mom's and loved ones , there are veteran moms that run the group and can give you guidance as to what to expect. There is also another site that is ran by one of our Navy dad's that lives here in Colorado and it has a week by week guide of what your recruit is going through that week. I will find out the link and post it for you. I know it's hard but hand in there.

AnnMarie9300-I'm from Highlands Ranch. We are not the most active on this page but you'll see a lot of familiar names on other pages. Since we do not have a lot of Navy personnel here I guess we all seem to hang out on pages where our kids are.
Julie-Colorado- My son's best friend is on the Vinson too. I know he's safe but my heart is broken for the family of the young man who lost his life and his shipmate and wing man who was involved in the accident. I'm with you in praying for them all.

Been busy posting on my sailor's ship. A lot goes on and they have a very active group. Today is a sad day for USS Carl Vinson (my son is aboard) and the tragedy there yesterday and today. No words can be said but we feel the sorrow for the family and shipmates. A veteran from the Vinson just posted, "Unknown shipmmate, you are relieved. We have the watch." This hits home for all of us parents. Prayers for all.

Jaron - mom I have a son that left for boot camp June 18th and my other son has been in for 2 years. I joined this group 2 years ago and it is pretty quiet. I also live in Highlands Ranch. Welcome to the club. There is much to learn. I suggest going over to boot camp mom's group where you'll find a ton of information.

Hi Jaron-smom. This group isn't very active right now. Most of our kids are in the fleet now. Welcome to the Navy. If you haven't joined Bootcamp moms I suggest you do so. I live in Highlands Ranch by the way.
