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."

4/25 PIR Moms...where are your sons and daughters now? Our is still in GL for A school until mid November. I know one of our Sailors got orders to Italy and many of them will be finishing A school soon if not already. Please let us know where they are off to next.

Linda, the grads from A school are short and sweet - less than 45 minutes. Very few guests if at all attend as most of the sailors will be going home on leave after graduation. But I think you will enjoy seeing Gulfport and a few days in the sun will be nice for you. Will Justin be coming home with you if you are traveling to Gulfport?

Got the Keel and dvd - nice job on the Keel and I honestly have not had a chance to watch the dvd yet but I hear it is well done.
Hope all is well. Many of our sons are completing their A schools soon, we must stay in touch as they start receiving orders. I think we are going to see our sons scattered all over the country!

So sorry that you could not make PIR Terry. The video and yearbook take about 8 weeks before you will see them but I know various moms have posted photos on this site - just search for 4/25 pir.
