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."

Everyone survive the winter storm? Am glad it's over and melting/cleanup can begin. Who else is out there looking forward to Spring? Where are your sailors now ? Mine is still in A school till mid March then who knows? Looking forward to what this next year brings in my sailors life.

Well, at least she gets to stay in the warmer climates pretty much thru the winter.
My son said he actually missed the colder weather and his feet stayed dryer. I know TMI, but actually likes the Gulf coast. He drove his old pick up back on 12/30 some 900+ miles so he has more freedom, not so sure about that but makes runs to/from the airport to pick up/drop off and one in New Orleans and makes a few bucks.

Good to meet you, I have a son there in A school till mid March. Kellig and I talk periodically but other than that after boot camp it seems to quiet down on this site.
Where did your daughter go to A school? Not sure where my son will go after March but he did plan on coming home before he left again.

My son has been there a little over a month now. He likes the AFB and really likes the weather (we are from MN).

I just sent you a friend request on here. I would love to see your FB pictures from PIR! Thanks!

He has heard rumors that his division is grad and go but nothing official yet. That would lead me to believe that maybe he will be starting it soon. Or else have a long time to wait! Did you have fun at PIR? Did you do anything or just hang out?

Congratulations, we are down to 11 days! Does anyone know how often they start school there? I'm wondering if Nathan will start on the 10th too or if he will start later.
