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."

Hope you had a Happy Mothers Day! That sounds exciting and dangerous at the same time! Thanks for giving me a little insight to what he will be doing. He needs to be in a place that he can't spend any of his money and save it. lol I think he knows more than he is telling me which is ok with me. He knows that I already worry about him. I try to explain that that is my job! My son is a GM. I thinkthat is what you are asking me, right? lol

Vivian - My son is still waiting to go to Mississippi for training. He has a C school in Indiana that he has to complete too. You might be right on where they are stationed because he seems to think that he will be in San Diego. He is so excited about his choice.
Deborah - How long has your son been in Bahrain?? Thanks for the offer of any help. I am sure I will have questions when he gets closer to finishing his training.

My son has expressed an interest in MSRON and although it shouldn't matter, I can't help but wonder what I should feel about his idea. Any insights would be greatly appreciated.

Sondra - so he's on the West Coast? Our son is in MSRON 2 in Portsmouth, VA. I'm told the even numbered squadrons are on the East coast and odd numbered on West. Not sure if that holds true or not....

Deborah, I know the feeling. My son left for Kuwait on his 20th birthday a few years ago. I wrote a blog about it on my page.
This will be my fourth Christmas without him. His second out of the country during Christmas.

Welcome to our friends who've recently joined this group. Since our son joined MSRON TWO last year we've learned a lot about these units. It seems we have Sailors stationed all over the world on land bases and deployed to some very interesting spots! We're also quite a mix of rates, given the breadth of MESF's mission - MAs, GMs, BMs and many others. Welcome to the group!

Becky, how neat! My son is not MSRON 2 - so he wouldn't be in any of the pictures - but thanks for the idea!

OH - Where to stay? There is a fairly newly remodeled Navy Lodge in Norfolk (near that base). All those cities are pretty close together!
