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."

Our Aegis FC was the honor grad at Dalgren, so he got first pick of orders. There were five students in the class, they came in and said we got five sets of orders - one set to Pearl Harbor and four sets to Norfolk.
Our son enjoyed Hawaii :-)
So excited to see all of our FCs and ETs that advanced this cycle, I know they are beaming from ear to ear, proud moment for them and their families. Nick will be testing for FC1 in September.
Wishing everyone a happy Memorial Day!

Whoever has the higher GPA usually has first pick. She also might just be given orders without a choice. Fingers crossed.

my daughter is currently stationed in Dalgren Va A school, she is a fire control men ageis, waiting for orders. I believe there is just one other female in her class. How do orders work will there be more then 2 choices when the orders come in? or will she only have 2 places to choose from. She really wants to go to San Diego.
