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."

MissingMySon. My son should be graduating around the same time as yours....maybe one week sooner. It keeps changing due to if classes start as planned or are delayed for whatever reason. We're hoping to hear either this week or next where his first orders are for. He has been told that Japan is a possibility. If that happens then we can kiss his "Wrap up week" home goodbye

Yes, Missing My Son, that is fine. I have only spoken to him once so far but that was wonderful to hear his voice. So far, he seems to be doing alright. I hope that continues for him. Your son will likely be graduating from A school when mine starts.

Hi Missing My Son, Is he enjoying his time there? Learning a lot more I assume? When is he estimated to graduate from A school?

I am not sure if this is the group for which my son is training to be. He is currently doing Boot Camp and is on ship 11, Division 135. He is training to work on Gas Turbines. I originally joined the Mechanic Group, but they said that is not listed and for me to try the Engineering Group. Did I join the correct group.?
