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."

Hey all... wonder of all wonders!! What a great chatty group this has become!! I remember when I joined it ages ago I quite following since there was never anything posted!
My son is an ATI... he spent the first two years in various schools between Great Lakes and Lemoore CA... no one was heading to Pensacola at the time because they were rebuilding after losing barracks, etc to hurricanes.
The rest of his first enlistment was spent up at NAS Whidbey Island working on Prowlers. Of course there were many DET's getting ready for deployment. He has now moved down to San Diego to work on Helo's.
I have gone back a bit to catch up and learn who is who... if anyone ever heads up to NAS Whidbey Island to visit their sailor... drop me a note... would love to meet you for lunch or coffee!! or if your sailor is stationed here in WA and ever needs a mom (until you could arrive) or maybe just for lunch or a holiday dinner please be sure to let me know! Our door is always open... and there is always room at the table for one or two more!!

Tinker is a 7HR drive from home....at first he wasn't sure about his orders, if he liked them or not, but the more info he gets the happier he becomes.
I have talked to R more today then in the last 5 months...just kidding; filling out TS clearance paperwork is grueling!

reds-ok he needed to be finished up no later than 1600 and haul "you know what" to the airport? tell him to tell any one who will listen what he is trying to do....get the heck outta there to catch a flight. tell him NOT to be bashful about it!!! i've got everything i got crossed for him : )
