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 Leisa, for my son it is not that he doesn't want to come home. He just had such a hard time finding a job that he likes and makes decent money.And, he does enjoy what he is doing now and realizes it's job security, good pay, and early retirement!!!!

Hi ladies, my son is a reservist, he is a CM (construction mechanic) in Iraq right now. His unit was activated in May of "08. he went to Miss. (Gulfport) for training, and to Iraq in August. He is relatively safe (he tells me) he is on a base. He is also sorry he didn't go active Navy (instead of reserves) I know he will be paid for 30 days after he returns home, and will also have benefits. He was also paid for 30 days after A school??? Good luck to your son!

Michael is a seabee builder- unfortunatly there isn't a construction work going on, he does go to the gym and he tries to keep busy. I think he is probably fine it's just me that feels bad for him.
Carol, at least your son can hopefully find a job as a mechanic- tell him to check out a pep boys or tire place. Sometime they have guy there to do mechanic work also.

Isn't the box with all of their clothes the most horrible thing? I cryed for hours after i recived it! I think we should have been warned about it. Just hang in there it does get alittle easier. My son Michael is home from A school . He is a seabee in the reserves. He can't find a job, but he will probably be leaving in a couple of months- I really thing that he misses the structure, I don't even know how I can help him. Right now I am just glad he is home for Christmas.
