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 just graduated from A school as an ET and now he is being sent to MS for combat training for MSRON 3 in San Diego. Could someone tell me how he got from being a "geek squad" to a combat person? And maybe give me a little informatoin on what this position entails. Thanks

All - I haven't been on here in quite a while - it's good to see our MSRON family growing! Welcome to the group and thanks for joining. I'd encourage all of you continue to reach out to families of your loved ones who are part of the same MSRON unit. Just keep in mind it's probably prudent to not post specifics such as unit movements, specific locations and certainly anything about their weapons, mission or equipment - anything that the Navy themselves haven't chosen to make public. Once they announce, however, like in a press release that a unit has deployed or returned from deployment, no problem. Sometimes I'm more apt to share info by email than posting it here on this public domain website. As a Navy Dad, I obviously don't have any classified information - but I'm still hesitant to just give out much info about the unit without knowing who I'm talking to.

What do you know of Kuwait? Is there anyway that the sailors can email or skype?

Are there any other moms who have daughters in any of the MSRON squadrons?

Hi Moms. My daughter is in MSRON 2. She is a Gunner's Mate, and she also did the combat training in MS. She has been in VA since the end of May. To my knowledge, she is the only female gunner in MSRON 2.

Looks like your sons are further along than mine - he is still on hold at Great Lakes until next Friday. We had thought he would get time off before Gulfport but not so. Do they all get time off before heading to Virginia?

Yes Trish I am Travis V mom Judy He did talk of some one from Iowa He will be home this next weekend for 12 days.

We live in Iowa. Michael is almost done with Gulfport. Batmomof3 and Judith Ann, it sounds like like your sons are one of the 14 doing MSRON. Am I right on that? I wonder if they are hanging out together.
