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."

Hello! my son is in Rota, Spain and deployed at times. Rota is a nice area and I was able to visit him near Thanksgiving. Hope you are all doing well.

Hi all! I’m still here. My son finished school last spring and is now stationed in VB and in active pre-deployment training. We plan to visit him again some time this spring. He seems settled in and likes his community. Would love to hear from more of you!

I'm still here! My son is stationed on an island FAR away. He got married last year & just became a daddy (my first biological grand child ) for the first time in Dec. He's been on leave for the birth but returns to work next week. In 2 weeks he deploys overseas. In a few months I'll be going to see all of them! Rumor has it he'll make Chief in 2023.

Anyone still here ?

Yep unless required elsewhere.
He has recommendations for UCT.
He is an EA.
He is required 2 years seaduty now with his new rank.
Heck his new contracts have been conflicting with availability at EOD...
Yet I do see advanced sailors go through there.

Working two jobs has kept me busy. lol And nothing to report on him but lots of training--jumping, climbing, shooting, etc. Is "School" the start of EOD training WaterRetriever?

Been quiet for awhile. My son is celebrating his 4 year anniversary today and just reenlisted for another 4. Four years in and still has not yet had his first deployment. Crazy. He will be going to South Korea at the end of the year. It'
s been lots of training for him. Hope everyone is doing well. I can't believe how the four years have flown.
