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 Peggy, My son is still waiting to class up - so he is trying to enjoy the down time but he is anxious to get started! He is liking South Carolina at least. He is hoping to class up next week.

Hi all - we are still travelling after Aaron's PIR on 2/27 - we are in PA at the moment. We sure enjoyed the Graduation and spending time with Aaron! What a nightmare getting there though. I really didn't think we would make it. got delayed about 5 h ours in Minn. due to snow, finally got out of there and was flying around Chicago trying to land - but there was a severe Thunderstorm and we couldn't land.... we ended up landing in Indianeapolis, they were going to fly to Chicago after getting more fuel and the storm calmed down, but they found out that we were struck by lighting and blew out an antennia so they couldn't fly the plane. they kept saying they were trying to get us a bus but weren't sure when it would arrive.... so we rented a car and drove to Chicago! we had met a sister of a recruit graduating so she came with us. We got to the hotel about 4:30 AM - just intime to change and get something to eat and get in line for graduation! We sure were tired... but just glad to be there!
