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."

Aster - my husband and I are driving and are going to be in San Diego the first week of June for three weeks. We're on the waiting list for the Navy Lodge and we have reservations for the one week at the Nay Gateway Inns and Suites. Our son doesn't have a date yet for graduating FRS; he's close and we're hoping it's during our stay. Maybe we'll meet up!!!!!

Happy Mother's Day to everyone!!!
Hugs and prayers to all...
airmom10 - my husband and I are flying to SD for our son's graduation from FRS, he graduates the last Friday in May. The 1st 4 days we're staying at the Navy Lodge then a couple of days at Harbor Lights in the Gas Lamp district and the night before we leave at the hotel and marina near the airport. We're flying in the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend. Will you be there then? Met Proudmama's beautiful daughter last year there.

Hi proudmama. My son went to Jacksonville for frs (Mayport I think) then at graduation he was assigned to a squadron that is a "national" squadron he says. He is now assigned to Mayport as his permanent station. He says he will be there for awhile as his group doesn't have a deployment date yet. Hope that helps.
