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."

Hello everyone,
We just joined the web site and we already feel we have support out there and aren't alone. Our son will be starting A-school Feb. 1st for an EM. He started out as a diver and contracted MRSA in boot, which put him behind in the program a couple of times, do to open wounds he could not swim. He recently dropped that contract and pick up the EM contract. I'm hoping that he will like what he will be doing. Any prayers are greatly appreciated for our sailor, he's still so young and has quite a long road ahead of him. Thank you!!
