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."

Classes start today at The Citadel.  Son's last semester before graduation/commissioning.  He got home last night from a grueling two weeks in Europe!  He took a business marketing class--one week in London, one week in Dublin. 

MichPad, every OC I've met at The Citadel loves the program there.  Your son should have a great time there.

Those pictures were great!  My son got picked up for FY2013 and will be attending the Citadel.  He's on Staff at GC right now, and can't wait for the new adventure to begin.

Congrats Maddie!

Haven't been on here for some time.  My son is one of the FY2012 selectees--proud momma here!  Just sent off all the college apps, transcripts, etc. today.  I hope being on the nuke program has conditioned him for a lot of studying! 

Comment by Sweet*Southern*Lady on October 28, 2012 at 12:21am

Woot! Congrats to those who got picked up!

Comment by Chris on October 26, 2012 at 8:13am

Went to Parents Weekend at The Citadel last weekend:

Knobs (Freshmen) line the street waiting for the First Class Cadets and OC's to march to the field house for the Ring Ceremony.

The Regimental Band leads the Cadets to the Field House.

Cadets and OC's on the march.

 Josh, Mike, Lee after the ceremony.
