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."

Thought I would share a giggle. My son said he is in a holding company or as they call it PSI. I thought pounds per square inch, right? Nope. In Navy-speak, PSI is Pre-School Instruction. I thought he had been outta preschool for about 19 years that I know of...apparently not!!

momma2....he will love the socks from what I have heard!

My son is soooo looking forward to starting. He has had some martial arts training so I am guessing he will like landing on the sand instead of a cement floor covered with a mat! They move into Devil Doc Hall tomorrow!!!

@drama. he said "send it all" ha ha. so i will. Black and Sand. If they aren't right maybe he'll love them and buy some for himself. or ask for more. that'll be fine. :)
wow. I'm kinda nervous about this new school all of a sudden. ha ha

momma3many...maybe he can use the brown ones as well. My son got his info from one of the Marines. Since they will be wearing marpat (the Marine patterned working uni's which have green, brown and tan in them) the brown may work.

argggggggggggg.... time to order more socks. lol live and learn.

Kathy, I ordered the socks but my son told me he talked to someone and they said either sand or green! So I ordered two of each.

Thanks for the info. I just sent him a box of things he needed (and forgot at home) including a lot of moleskin! I will get the socks. Any suggestion as to where to get them? I really appreciate all the good information!

DramaSoul...glad to hear. He will have fun. He will be exhausted for awhile but he will have fun. My son has been at CP since January. Did his FMTB training and is now paired up with a Marine unit. It is an experience. Tell him to take care of his feet. Blisters are a BIG problem. My son got these socks that I cannot remember what the name of them are and he swore by them. I am sure someone else here remembers the name of the them. He said he got one blister and then got the socks and they helped a lot. No more blisters and dry feet at the end of the day. Enjoy the ride.
