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."

Hi all. I’m new here. My son just signed EOD contract. He was in injured during HellWeek in BUD/S and decided to drop with hope to move into EOD. He’s excited to start. Believe he’ll quarantine in GL for 2 weeks and start in October.

Proud Navy mom today. He passed his final test yesterday (disarming an torpedo - yikes!) Navy EOD Pinning ceremony set for two weeks out. No guest allowed due to virus situation in Florida. Sad about that, but happy that he is moving along. Next up, jump school! Hooyah!

Family okay. My sailor is winding down but now quarantining at Fort Eglin. Seems that had some test positive. Just another few weeks of delay. Wow, this journey has been a long haul. But happy and healthy thank God. Hope everyone else is well here.
