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."

I finally got a date for my son to go to A school. Sept 27, 2014. He had graduated on 8/29. Is there anyone else given that date too?

Welcome Hannah. According to my sailor, who just graduated on Fri, your sailor will love A school. He had a great time there. NOW comes the hard work of actually working! (For my son, that's on a carrier that's already deployed... won't see him until next summer sometime).

Hi everyone! My sailor starts school in Fort Lee tomorrow!

Wow - graduation was really pleasant! They put on a great program... I suggested that the short power point program be posted somewhere so other family members could see what they did during school. Pics of the class are here ....
