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 everyone; hope you are all well tonight.
I see my dear friend, Gary T, from the Great Lakes A School site joined and introduced himself to you all. He has added so much knowledge and help to the GL site and I know he will be a job to have as a contributing member on here. There were 5 of us whose loved ones joined the Navy at about the same time and were stationed in GL for their initial training. All 5 of our boys were GMs, so we got to know each other very well over the miles. Gary and I were lucky in that his son and my grandson's orders are for the same C School and the same ship in Hawaii. How neat is that? I think it is great.
I wish all of you a very wonderful Sunday. Vee

Hello all, I am new to this site, but have been a regular member of Navy For Moms since last November. My grandson has received his orders and will be stationed on the USS Lake Erie upon completion of C School. I'm excited about finding this group and meeting all of you. BTW, I am a California grandmother.....so Hawaii is only 4 hours away by air....
