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."

Hi, Just wanted to post that our son, a corpsman with the marines will be deploying very soon. First one. I think we are all a little nervous.

Good morning all. I am at the hotel, getting ready to head to PIR. So excited to finally see my Sailor, ever though we don't get much time with him. Thank you all for being so welcoming!

Becky--it has been changed and those remarks don't show up as activity. On the main page, no one's current activity shows up either. I think it's due to how large our group has become over the past few years and it was moving much more quickly.

Lake party sounds fun---but that would be two weekends in a row to Indy from St. Louis. The high school reunion has been in the makings for a year, so guess that will be my trip back home.

Hey there! Although we're not physically in Indiana anymore, SR (my husband) and I grew up and lived in Terre haute area until 3 years ago. We now live in Michigan, but we're barely north of the state line and still have lots of family in IN. SR left 03/14 for BC and PIR 5/11. We're all so excited and proud of him!
