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."

Hi all. :)
I know I saw a few moms out there today who mentioned their sons were in class 1101 starting in November. It'll be here before we know it!
For those of you who don't know, I'm Aaron's girlfriend. He's an EM who graduated A school in September. :)
I can't wait to get to know all of you, and hopefully meet you all in April! :)

He passed!! And it was even better than Monday and MERO!! :) I'm so extremely proud of him! :)
same! And one of his best scores too. Widow what?
Looking for a special place to take my Nuke for a graduation dinner on Friday night.  Any suggestions?  Kinda thinking about a nice steak house.  I know for lunch my Nuke is taking his little brother someplace that has a 4 ft pizza.  That's all the child has been talking about since he heard about the pizza.  I'm just hoping it tastes good and they have a salad bar!

Check this out, my3sons. I randomly came across it one day, and it has a lot of suggestions for food towards the bottom. It even has them sorted by price range. :)

I just heard from my son and he said the advancement test was early this morning and they won't know anything for a couple of months!!
Has anyone got a confirmation on leave times yet? Or where they will go for Prototype?
nope, nothing. you?

April 23rd through May 1st (Aaron said 2nd but that's probably the day he'll have to report) is what section 2 was told. I think that's pretty official..

No word on who's going where though.

My son wants to drive his car home and buy his truck here.  He actually wants parental input and help negotiating the deal.  Where did this kid come from????  Just to toot my own horn, I am known for getting REALLY good deals!  I guess when it's HIS money he wants a good deal.

My son is also in this graduating class, as an EM.  Power school has been a struggle for him, so this graduation is going to be a tremendous victory!  It seems, in this last set of classes, he has finally "Got it!"

 

Welcome! Which section is your son in? There's a few EM's represented here, just wondering if we might know your son

Welcome! and I agree with Amanda! Which section is your son? :)

I'm glad these last few classes have been going good for him.. That's always a confidence booster. :)
