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,
It’s been way too long since anyone has posted here. Hope all is well with you all. My son is now in underwater, last division of EOD school, and hopefully will graduate in March. Such a long pipeline! Will have been 1.5 years! So excited for him! It’s been and continues to be very challenging and often stressful pipeline. I guess to be expected given their extraordinary and dangerous career path.
Hope to get some updates from this group.
Happy New Year and God Bless,RooDog

Hi All - hope you are well and your children are happy and enjoying EOD. My son completed the training and is now out there (are we allowed to say where they are stationed?). We were able to see him at Xmas so that was great! Hang in there amazing ladies.
