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 Kim ~
My son is an ABE on the Lincoln, I'm not exactly sure but I think he's on the cats vs arresting gear. His emails (Lincoln on 7 mo deployment) have mentioned cats only so far. He too finished A school last month, posted to Everett, arrived and departed 7 days later.. Hopefully someone else with more than 1+ month of knowledge can help us both, I'm still learning too.

Laurie, thanks for the welcome and yes you are right, he's most happy when he's busy. It does make the time move quickly and 7 months is a long time. Guess I need to be busy too.
