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."

Debbie, there are alot of Seabee moms on the site. Look in groups for Seabees - you will get a lot of good info from them.

Hi everyone,
My Sailor is in Gulfport Mississippi and hoped classes would start today. He had PIR August 29th and seems to be very happy with the new base so far. He's going to be a Seabee after A school completion and seems to think he'll go to Hawaii for a couple of weeks to prepare for deport to Iraq. Anyone heard that's the plan for active Seabees?

Hi Cheryl!! How long will your son be in Monterey?? You should definitely visit him there...it's so beautiful!

Why would they go to another barrack? Are all A schools run the same way? I cant wait for my son to have his cell phone. I'm sure his cell company is concerned because his constant texting has stopped;) Thanks for the info Chris...I thought BC was confusing

We ALL survived another weekend without our A school students at our homes. Seemed strange not to be feeding a flock of friends.

Hey Navy Dad "Mark" - my son finished "A" school back in April , 2008. I started this group and therefore, if I leave - everyone has to leave. So, saying that, if I have to stay, everyone has to stay!!!
