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."

Hello everyone, I just found the group. My son is a Corpsman, graduated PIR 2/8/13. Ship 03 Div 091. I live in Stuart and glad to see so many in the group are from the same area. I lived in Port St Lucie., where my son graduated High School. I hope to connect with those locally. I am so proud of all our sons and daughters. My son is still training in C school in San Antonio. I hope to see him soon when he graduates Oct 3. I miss him dearly.

ya janieflorida who would have thought that a 4 year signup would turn into a life long career. It has been a good life for him and he has had many adventures. I have even gotten to Rota Spain when he was stationed there and Italy when he was stationed there. In Italy I even got to pin his anchors on when he made Chief. I have to say that , that was my proudest monent ever of being a mom. How long has your son been in? Where in Fl r u? Citrus county here.

Hang in there oneproudmomma, he left a boy but will come back a man you can be very proud of. I dropped my son off 19 years ago today and he is now 1 year from retirement and I couldn't be more proud of the man, husband, father and Chief he is today.
