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."

Yes, you can send a Bible. Avoid a study Bible, but most other Bibles are fine--the smaller the better though to save room. Some send them in a padded envelope and others in a box, but do write "Bible enclosed" in the corner. Take care and blessings to you and yours.
I am trying to remember my handle for Facebook to make it easier to find me, but not quite sure. I have such a common name if you have problems, let me know.....Michelle Johnson. My profile pic is the same on FB (such a proud mom...lol).
Hi, you still need to make change number 2 at the bottom of OPSEC and PERSEC (Making Changes To Your Profile) (clickable link) to remove your last name from the URL above.
I see your SR has a contract for Hospital Corpsman (HM); sometime between now and the end of BC, join HM (Hospital Corpsman) A School in San Antonio and check out Basic Medical Technician Corpsman Program Facebook Page. The Rating Information Card for HM can be found at https://www.cool.navy.mil/enlisted/rating_info_cards/hm.pdf; it indicates 19 weeks, but "A" School is 14 weeks after classing up. Your Sailor will most likely fly out to "A" School the day after PIR. See PIR Day and Liberty During PIR Weekend to help you know how to plan your weekend.
Hi, welcome to Boot Camp Moms (and loved ones). I look forward to sharing this journey with you. Your Username appears to contain your last name; if so, you should change that and the URL to this page. Numbers 1 and 2 at the bottom of OPSEC and PERSEC (Making Changes To Your Profile) (clickable link) will tell you how to fix both. There may be other changes you will want to make as well, such as numbers 3 and 4. Be sure to check out the other Pages (found under the pictures of the Members) as well. Take care and blessings to you and yours.
