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."

Hope you all enjoyed your time together on Tuesday! Wish my work didn't get in the way of N4m gatherings! I hope to see you all again soon!
I am on the bootcamp for moms site and some questions about what to do in the area for PIR weekend October 11th for those remaining in GL for A school). Wondered what you would recommend to out of towners? I recommended the usual... Navy Pier, Willis Tower, but wondered what you have experienced and thought about for those just finishing bootcamp- what are the preferred activities for those in uniform? Thought I would pass on your recommendations to that site...

Hi Becky- I'd love to hear about your son's experience in Lemoore. My son likes it except for the crazy heat! Sorry, can't make it on the 19th though. Maybe next time!
