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."

mine was 281 also for a while... When you get the chance to watch it, focus on all of their faces after HW is secured! You will relive all your emotions! The smiles on their faces says it all!

Thinking of 282 now and praying for no illness or injury!

My son sent me a 12 minute video/slide show that they showed at graduation. He copied a disk someone gave him and sent it to me! It is great. They (class 281) didn't get the disk until the week after graduation, so don't expect it before that. I guess someone just made a few copies and gave them to a class member to make copies of and distribute to the guys. It shows a few minutes of phase 1, phase 2 , phase 3 and sqt. I don't think it is really all class 281, however, because it shows walking out on ice in Kodiak, and 281 never had any ice when they were there. I did see my son 4 times. very special.
