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 was prefill for 1204. He told me there are rumors now because one of the ships needs repair and will have to be shipped to Virginia for some time, they are going to be shipped to BS for prototype. Has anyone else been told of this rumor? There must be quite a backlag with more power classes graduating.

hi Tina, all good here, Colin is 2 weeks into Prototype and doing well so far. He says his hrs should be reduced tomorrow as he is ahead with his points. Has also been talked to by some instructers about the ELT program and Staff pick up, so we shall see.
This will be our 1st x-mas with no kid, him and his wifey are gonna have a quiet one now that hes back in school. Me and his dad are heading to florida for a week to visit family. Will take a week-end trip down to GC after the holidays before he goes on shift work.
Hope this finds you all doing well :)
