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."

Liberty in Coronado?
Does anyone know what to expect once the arrive at Coronado as far as communication and liberty? My bf should be there mid April and we are trying to see if there is a way for me to fly out and visit him for a weekend, maybe after he graduates basic. Does anyone know if that could be possible? I am VERY new to this and I don't know very much about the abbreviations or what to expect, so try not to use too much Navy jargon just yet. lol.

I was wondering the same for myself and our son... My hubby will arrive in Coronado around May 15th. Is SWCC training like basic were they are not allowed any communication? Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

I suggest emailing wellen, she told me some stuff that was pretty helpful. I will share with you what I know if you want to email me, apparently we are not supposed to really discuss SWCC on a public stream, and I will tell you what I know/have heard (or what I think that I know at least). Keep in mind that I am very new to thins, but I have gotten a few answers.
