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."

My son is getting ready to be a mineman no more. Will be leaving Bahrain and headed for a destroyer. He said he had the choice between location or ship, and he chose ship. Me personally, I think I would have chosen Hawaii.
Good luck to all here

My son starts basic on Wednesday . His rate is MN. can anybody tell me , from recent knowledge, what places MN get stationed after A school? What kind of choices are there? Will there be a chance he could stay in San Diego ?

My son changed crews and should have arrived yesterday I believe back in Bahrain for his second tour there, Had he stuck with his original crew he would have remained in San Diego for a couple of years, then to Japan I think. I liked it better when he was stateside.

My son got his verbal orders yesterday and that was for Misawa , Japan. However, he won't be leaving until maybe the end of the year. So I look for things to change. But then again, they may not!

No he has not deployed yet. He will be attached to a Littoral Combat Ship (LCS). He says the standard joke is Let's change something (lcs). He has done a lot of training for his first deployment which is supposed to be next year. The Navy has spent a lot of money on these new ships. I worry that most seaman deploy soon after A school but he graduated a year ago and has not deployed yet.

My MN son is stationed in Sasebo Japan. The places they seem to be sending MN are Bahrain, Japan, Guam and Charleston SC. He was sent there straight out of C school in SD.

Hi Concernedad, we are still here. My son has been in SD since early last year. He leaves SD for training. He tells me with the LCS orders change weekly. Do you have a son or daughter in the Navy?

Didn't know this board was here. Anyone still around?
