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."

Welcome, Michele(SHIP 11 DIV 317)

Profile Information

I am here to support my
Son/Daughter
Stage of (Sailor’s) Navy career?
Enlisted
When I heard “Navy,” I...
Was proud and encouraged it
Our Navy experience so far...
It was positive and maturing. Our relationship has grown stronger.

A Son Like You

A son is a treasure
A blessing from above
He is laughter, warmth and special charm
He is happiness and love

A son brings a special joy
That comes from deep inside
And as he grows into a man
He fills your heart with pride
With every year that passes
He is more special than before
Through every stage, through every age
You love him even more
No words can describe the memories
The pride and gratitude
That comes from having a son that is wonderful…
a son just like you.

my son is in A school now and he is in gulf port MS. I dont know if there is a diff between A schools so you might tell him to ask.  I know my son said at phase 2 they can go away for the weekend and phase 3 they can have civi clothes and his car.  Once again have him ask a commanding officer so he isnt mislead on this.

Evan will be staying in Great Lakes for A school.  He wanted to be an air traffic controller too but his vision prevented it.  Poor kid, got his mom's eyes!  He's going to be a gunners mate which he is really jazzed about.
