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."

Hi Jen,
We put VA as our first choice since it is a huge base we figure our chances of getting it are high lol, we are trying to pick smart.

Hello all,
I haven't been on in a while but wanted to give a quick update on my husband. He is currently completing BECC for GSM but hasn't started his strand yet. He is scheduled to be done end of April if he isn't put on hold to start his strand. He recently got the Yeo Man position for his duty section so he is very popular on his ship lol. He will put in a request Monday to get his orders. How long does it generally take to get PCS orders I AM SO ANXIOUS!!!!

Hi Closele
My son graduated from GSM school in GL a few months ago. He is now in Virgina Bch at C school. (loves it) GSE is similar to GSM he will stay in GL for probably 4-5 months depending when the next class starts up. Email me directly with any specific questions.
