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."

That's cool sweetpea. I bought that movie for my husband for Father's Day but I think my son took it with him. If I remember correctly it came out right before he left for bc last July. I don't think he got to watch the whole thing before he left because it upset his girlfriend. I loved Keith Urban's song that was featured in the movie.

Wow, dbristol, congrats to your son. What a great accomplishment to be top of his class and get his pick. That choice sounds a little scary but these boys don't seem to mind. I know they are anxious to get underway. Please let us know what you learn about it.

Awesome dbristol! Congratulations to your son on being top of his class AND getting his choice! CSAR is one of the choices my son is hoping to do. I really don't know a lot about it other than I thought it tends to be in a combat zone. :(
Such honor, integrity and commitment your son is exhibiting. You must be very proud.
