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."

Very routine. Questions are about 10 minutes. They will question everyone that your son put down as references plus ask for more if needed. Mainly bosses, coworkers, neighbors, and close friends. I had to laugh "how long have you known your son?....um since birth :)

Pentwater - My son said the same thing. He had duty on Thursday and ended up shoveling snow on the midnight snow crew! As a pure California boy he can't wait to leave there in two weeks and get back to some warmer weather! Between the blizzard that hit right after he arrived at BC to this new snow storm He has definitely figured out he hates the snow!

My Sailor sent a picture of the snow they are getting right now.. Said he is only going out to get something to eat.. He is happy he had duty yesterday and not today..
