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."

Moms/Dads/Families with Nukes in Ballston Spa, NY

Wanted to start a group for moms, dads, and other family members that have Nukes currently attending Prototype in Ballston Spa, NY.

Members: 170
Latest Activity: Jan 9, 2019

Thought I would start a group for the families of sailors stationed in NY for Prototype. It will be nice to chat about what is going on with our sailors whether it is good or bad so that we can support each other. I have connected with many people on this site but it is always nice to meet others that are going through the same things together. Also if you have had a sailor in NY for an extended amount of time then you can help the new ones just coming in on what to expect.

Bethr311, Paddy got orders to Norfolk, aboard the USS Theodore Roosevelt. We're really happy about that because my husband is at Norfolk too! I think there are seveal headed this way, so please let me know if your Sailor is here and in need of anything! Also, if any of you are here for a visit, please give me a call!

Wow - how exciting for all of you - bethr311, 5Sailor1AirmanFam & Wendy4Cody!  All of you with sailors graduating on Friday.  Bravo Zulu!  Doing the Happy Dance for all of you!

bethr311 - the same offer I made to Nancy Jo stands for you & your sailor.  We are just about an hour from San Diego so if your sailor ever needs anything or if you make it this way for a visit please do not hesitate to contact me!  I always love to meet other Navy Mom's ;-)

5Sailor1AirmanFam - does your sailor have orders yet?

Hope everyone has a great day!

Hi all! Just got off the phone with my sailor. He's assigned to the USS Carl Vinson out of San Diego. May I ask please, if anyone goes to prototype graduation Friday, will they take lots of pictures? I know a lot of people can't make it. I would make it worth your while and be forever grateful!

Getting close for those of you heading to graduation on Friday!

Pack your warm clothes!!!

I still have never been to Hawaii. I guess I'll have to go and not have any excuse to do it. I have only been through Ct one time. It is very nice in the Spring and fall.
Comment by B'sNukeMoM⚓️MMN(Vet) on October 16, 2014 at 6:41pm

Aw Wendy - sorry he's not closer to home, but nice that your sister & her family will be close to him.  Guess you'll have to plan at trip to CT - I hear it's nice!
