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."

Praying they all complete their task safely. It's hard work becoming a sailor and I have the utmost respect for all our young men and women making this their goal.

Good Morning Moms. My son is in A school at Sheppard AFB for CE. He is right in the middle of pole climbing. It seems they have to climb a 30 ft pole without any safety equipment to catch them when they fall. They have been climbing for 3 days and already several have fallen and been hurt. My son's roommate broke his leg. I am asking for all of the Moms that read this post to please pray for this group of Sailors that they will safely complete this part of their training! Thanks to all of you in advance.

Hello2u I've seen good comments on the Navy Lodge there, we are going next month, the Navy lodge did not have a room large enough ( just on king bed) so we went on militaryhotels.com and found s good desk at Ashton Inn extended stay, has decent amenities and we get to save money for doing activities. Hope this helps
