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."

Andy'sMom, did your son have to have it? We've had two PFT's which he passed with no problem.

Glenni -- I agree with Suzie. Time in Pens can be relatively short, and even if he wants to fly the SeaHawk what he actually flies often depends on Navy needs at the time. Substituting may be a great option, or a maternity substitute??
On another note -- if you get down there to visit you MUST go to the National Naval Aviation Museum. It is fabulous.
Godspeed.

Thank you so much for the input Suzie. Since he's graduating in December, she should be able to take a job for second semester there. He's actually hoping to fly the SeaHawk, and I believe that training is also in that area. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong. But she is also open to subbing.
I'm excited to learn all about API and how it works.
Huskermom, when did your son start? What is your son doing now?
