OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

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."

I just finished converting one of my older son's old NWU trousers (ripped leg and paint) into a pencil skirt for my daughter. Except for the fact that I am terrible at hems, I think it turned out pretty well. She plans to wear it with a silver and bling belt, and a navy Navy t-shirt with a bling Hello Kitty. Seriously cute outfit.
However, the reason for the conversion is a little weird. My daughter's school is apparently planning to ban camouflage, based on its use by some gangs. Which confuses me because we don't have any gangs around here, in our little mostly rural area. Not that I know of, anyway.
Her NJROTC unit is planning a protest Monday, they are all going to wear as much camo (of various types) as possible, plus their friends. Since we didn't have anything but our son's old uniforms, this was our easiest option.
What "brilliant" person tries to ban camouflage in a school with a JROTC unit?

Were you aware that there are 100 NROTC slots reserved for NJROTC cadets every year? They are nominated through their NJROTC units, and are selected independently from the rest of the NROTC scholarship applications.

If any of you live in South Dakota, you are getting an amazing Senior Naval Instructor next year. Major Leo Campbell is leaving our unit (one of the top units in the US, mostly due to his efforts) and will take over the program at Lincoln High School. He led my daughter's unit to seven straight Distinguished Unit with Honors awards, and their drill and flag teams are "feared" by their rivals.
You will soon have an amazing unit of your own.

Hi everyone. I am new to the naval jr rotc but NOT to the Navy. My son Cory enlisted in 2011 and left for Japan from A school last September 11th...2011. He just came home for the first time since leaving...a great visit. And is now back in Japan. We just moved to Florida and his two brothers (14 and 16) have just joined the jr rotc program at the high school here. Port Charlotte High. They are both very excited about this...as are his Dad and I. This is a whole new thing for us as in Michigan ROTC programs are few and far between and the Navy program is non-existant that I know of.
Looking forward to this year...and the years ahead.

Looking forward to an exciting year. My son is a senior and the Battalion Commanding Officer. He's very anxiously awaiting word on his applications to the 3 Academies and 3 ROTC scholarship programs. The waiting is hard!

Who's ready for a new year of NJROTC?

Okay, we went all-out and got her a mermaid-style dress. Ouch. It's not too bad now, but when she's a junior/senior, and has both the NJROTC Ball and the Junior/Senior Ball (aka prom), it's going to really, really hurt.

Congratulations, it's so hard to get NROTC these days, they have triple or quadruple the qualified candidates compared to what they used to have, so it's incredibly competitive.
My daughter still isn't sure if she wants to stay for all four years, or go on to either NROTC or enlisted, but she will give it another year. I'm hoping she does choose to join, though I would prefer she goes enlisted. Erin is more of a hands-on person, and would rather be the one doing the work than the one organizing and managing the projects and people.
