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."

Well, that was a short stay. He's going to NIOC at Fort Meade. Thanks, and bye everyone!

Assuming his orders are actually for Pax. These are the vaguest orders I've ever heard of, even for verbals!

Hey there Arwen, Yes my son and daughter in law got transfered there this past march. They really like it so far. They bought a house and had a baby since getting there so they have been busy. I wonder if your son will be working with mine. I will have to ask him when your son gets there.

Hi, I'm Arwen, my son Chris is about to graduate from IT A school and got his verbal orders. Of course we all know verbals aren't certain (and his are strangely vague), so my stay here may be very temporary, pending written orders.
Hi Karen! Fancy meeting you here, LOL.
I'm a Navy vet myself, as is my husband. My younger son Sean is working on joining as well (waiting on a knee injury waiver), so we're a thoroughly Navy family.

Hey Michelle I am driving up on the 13th of may. I can't wait to hold my new grand daughter and spoil her. My son turned 34 that day so he was really happy with his birthday present. I haven't been there yet either but am looking forward to the trip. They are closing on their new home on the 14th so looks like we will be helping to move them into their new home. How long has nate been in ?
