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."

Just read the link MNM posted about Matt Bergman. There was a video clip of an interview with the Dad. Very moving, touching, sad, uplifting, emotional... Thoughts and prayers are with him and his family. You just never know what The Lord has in store for us...

that's perfect Tchr : ) when did your son arrive at Oceana? there are soooo many cool things in the area. and there's a special beach for military ONLY!!!

I took it in jest... No worries. I totally get the light-ness...
-

Tchrmom-only kidding....not trying to be disrespectful in any way. we poke fun at ourselves, our kids, the Navy and various other things...keeping it "light", lessening the worries for when the day comes that we can't laugh at any thing at all... because that day might be just around the corner.
yes the Checkmates have a verrrrry cool patch!!!

Can't have Flyin' Pigs... how do you stop fooling around with the name to get respect!!
Cool patch Connie! Thanks for that!
MNM- you must be the researcher in the group. Great list! And to think that list dates back to 1968! That's over 40 years of serving our country. Think of the history those squadrons all have... and there are so many! WOW!
When he first got his orders, he said they were attached to the Enterprise. Now he's not sure if that's where he'll be going... I didn't bother telling him I would check with a N4Ms group and get back to him. When he was in boot camp, this website kept me up on what would be going on with him before HE even knew...
