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. We're doing the snow bird thing. I'm in Fernandina Beach near Jacksonville.  I'm also big in the packing party & pillowcase creation scene through Molly's Adopt a Sailor. Our son is a submariner, just transferred from King's Bay to Groton.Been a Navy Mom since 2008.

Hi Everyone! My son left last week for boot camp. I'm a new Navy Mom, and also a retired Navy wife and our last duty station was NAS Jacksonville...Good Times! With all of this waiting I have been doing, waiting for "the box", waiting for the "form letter", etc. I briefly thought that it has been a little harder to be a Navy Mom then I remember being a Navy Wife over the years, but it really isn't. Its just a different type of worry, and I do know that with time it gets easier. I have to just keep reminding myself that although he will always feel like my little boy, my job raising him is done, and he is quite capable as a young man now and boot camp will turn him into a proud Sailor! There were quite a few recruits that left MEPS with my son so I'm wondering if anyone else has a kid that left on 11/4?
