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."

My son's grandfather, my dad, was a Navy flight surgeon based at Marine Hospital El Toro, and his brother was also a Navy officer but I do not know his job in The Navy just that he was stationed in Norman, Oklahoma for a bit. My son is currently an Aircrew RSS based in Coronado.
My Parents lived in Japan during dad's deployment and my brother Patrick was born in Iwakuni Navy Hospital in 1956.
Grandfathers on both sides were Army(US and Canadian) along with Dad's middle brother, and my Mother's Sister and her husband were AirForce as was my Father's youngest brother.

My son is the second in a couple of generations to join the Navy. My grandfather was a cook on a Navy ship many years ago, and I have a cousin who served for a couple of years. My husband is a Veteran of Operation Desert Storm and I have another son who is in the Army as well as a niece. So I'm excited to learn about the Navy. So far I'm so impressed with how the Navy is with their SR's and the families. So proud to be a Navy mom.

My son is leaving 24SEP2014 for RTC. My father was a TD1 during the 1980's, his brother was in the Army during Vietnam. Both of my grandfathers are Navy, one during WWII as an ET and one as a CS on a destroyer during Korea. We have a West Point graduate, now a Major in the US Army and several other Navy, Army and Marine vets in our family.
