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 to all the new AD moms. Looks like they are classing up and moving out of A school really quickly in Pensacola. My son is with his squadron VP-1 Screaming Eagles in Japan right now but he will be back at Whidbey some time this month. He couldn't be happier in his rate - he loves being an AD.

Valtameri - My son is leaving on Monday to head for VA to work on the F/A-18E Super Hornets. He's pretty pumped about it. He described them as "like Blue Angels, less stickers, more bombs"!! LOL He was in Pensacola for 2 1/2 months

He's AD. Machinist's Mate. And his friends posted a cool picture of a bunch of them in front of a huge flag. Very cool.

Plans changed, as usual, my son is coming home for 2 weeks after all, yay, and then headed to VA for C school, then to Point Mugu. I was hoping he would head to C school.

Point Mugu is on the coast along the Pacific Coast Highway about 20 miles north of Malibu

Point Mugu is nice, my son has been stationed there since 12/09

My son is headed to Point Mugu outside of LA for 2 years after graduating A school May 3. He's preparing us because he may not be getting home for leave after school. We'll see.....And I'm off that day, Pcola is 5 1/2 hours away, so I may be headed for a visit, lol.

My son arrived in Pcola Sunday and although his orders were 1 week wait and finihsing school the 15th of May, his first call today was....Mom, don't count on that leave for May 15th, looks like I will be here longer.....I had to laugh! I guess we will learn to roll with it and maybe if he is there long enough we can plan a trip to visit late summer!
