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."

That is a horrible tragedy. His family is in my thoughts.I can't imagine, they were supposed to be attending his PIR tomorrow, instead they are planning his funeral. My heart is broken for them.

My son called today, he had to go to medical & have 2 IVs, he wasn't feeling well Monday & was SIQ yesterday. Today he was dehydrated. He hasn't eaten in 3 days. Luckily he's feeling better now, but one of his friends just informed him that he'll be getting set back as he missed 2 days. He has the roommate from hell, who coincidentally also just got set back today. Glad A School is only 5 weeks! @ Malen my older son is also in Norfolk! :-)

@DivontesMom. My daughter is in A school in Ft. Lee and she said she will be graduating Jan 9. She's my 2nd sailor too. My son is in Norfolk, VA with USS Truman.

DimontesMom - Welcome! Be aware that Ft Lee school is about 5 weeks long. Let us know how he's doing.
Rich is out on "America's Favorite Carrier" in the Persian Gulf - somewhere. Joined up after already deployed and is finding hard not to get breaks or make friends - too much work! He'll live.

Hi Everyone,
My son is currently in A School at Fort Lee, he just classed up yesterday. He's my 2nd Sailor, so I'm not new to the journey, but it's nice to connect with a a group of Moms whose Sailors will be/are the same Rate. My son will actually be on a sub when his schooling is finished.

I am excited. My son graduates next week 10/31/2014 at Ft. Lee and he has his orders. He will be on the USS Blue Ridge Yokosuka, Japan. I can't wait to see him when he is on leave. I will not be able to attend his graduation and if there anyone who is going will you please send me pictures. Thank you in advance.

HE CALLED! HE CALLED! Richard called home. He's in medical for the night (some form of viral infection that has caused his face to swell), but he's feeling fine. IT WAS SO GOOD TO HEAR HIS VOICE! It's only been 4 1/2 weeks. He loved the port call in Singapore about 2 weeks ago. Only big issue is LOTS OF LONG DAYS (12-13 hr) and a brand new computer busted in transit! Hoping he calls again tomorrow since he'll be SIQ
