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."

Ladies and Gentlemen of this discussion forum. My son received his DD214 and has completed his service in the US Navy. I wish you and my son Fair Winds and Following Seas as he sets off on his next journey - that of a college student.
I will still be on Navy For Moms as my youngest son is now a sailor of the world's greatest navy.

Kassie, my son is on the Antonio. I actually participated in the Tiger Cruise. I called it 'Take your mom to work day". Quite an experience. Today, I got the word that my youngest will report to RCT in TWO days. (He was on a wait list). Got entrance into the nuclear program. This is my baby!

My son needs to sell his new queen bed and beautiful sofa. Pics are on my page. His wife purchased these last June. He got home from cruise in November, and they've been stored since.
I hope I have not broken any rules listing this here. Just trying to be a good Mom. Thanks to all. Happy New Year!
