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."

Do any moms have children who are officer *and* enlisted?
So, are there any moms out there who have an officer child and an enlisted child? If so, is it awkward when they're both home together? Or do they just revert to their regular sibling behavior and not worry about their military ranks while they're home.

I would want to think that they would be Brother's first while at home. I sure hope that is the case. What rank is Chris going to be when he gets out of BC. What is his job going to be?

He's well on his way towards his DEP quals, so he should be an E-2 out of boot and will be an IT. We're still hoping he can find two people to refer to the Navy for that E-3, but I doubt it will happen.

I should hope they can already swear like a sailor, because they grew up with two sailors in the house. My mom is devastated. I don't think I ever heard a swear word come out of her mouth, and the first time back from boot camp the first thing out of my mouth (when I stumbled coming out of the plane) was a swear word. I never recovered, and my husband isn't much better.
What should be VERY interesting when they come home is that we're moving as soon as they're gone. We're out of this big house and we're buying an old steel-hull fishing boat, restoring it and moving on to it. If their wrestling match gets out of hand we'll just push them overboard.

This is funny! My friends and I where just talking about this! Only about father (enlisted) and son (officer)! We just let it go, because my son didn't go to college! I would hope they are brothers first!

Yes, my son is a Navy "Seabee" , enlisted now over 3 years ago and is an E5. Our daughter is currently in OCS up in Rhode Island. There has been a lot of "teasing" about hiim having to "salute" her, but I doubt they will ever be in uniform together. He will be deployed when she graduates. I will have to ask my son, but I have only seen him encourage her to go for it and do her best. He is one of her biggest cheerleaders. However, he also said he wished he had finished College as he did go just over 2 years, then decided to join the Navy. I will say that we are sensitive now to things we say as not to hurt his feelings. He would be a great officer and should he choose to stay in the Navy perhaps he will pursue that route.

In My experience when they are home on leave, the uniforms ends at the door.
