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 my sailor is stateside. Japan duty is over and on to school in VA for a months after his leave. Then he is on to Point Mugu. Going from the USS GW group of 800 some members to Point Mugu 12 members is going to be a bit lonely. LOL
Can not wait for my son to see his room make over that I did. He will be here Friday and I can hardly wait.

No, unfortunately, the race won't be rescheduled. If we have no snow, we can do a dry land demonstration with carts, etc But if we have some we can't. We don't really know. My husband is going with him to the recruiter's office on Tuesday to check on jobs to help him choose. They were talking to him about intelligence jobs based on his scores. He's only been to the recruiter once (this past week). He's 17, so he'll go in at 17. He was going to take the ASVAB on regents day, but they told the recruiter they wanted him to go this week as they will be closing out jobs the following week.

oh funny...do they reschedule those races?? nice for him on the ASVAB...what is he hoping for??

Ironically, the dog sledder only has 1 in of snow & we're supposed to have a race tomorrow. Sigh On the plus side, my younger son took his practice ASVAB the other day & did very well. He heads to MEPS next Friday for the real thing!

Hi BronxNyNewNavyMom, yes we are definitely neighbors. My son is a CS, and currently in A-school at Fort Lee. Yes, he is close enough to get to in case of an emergency. But it's 5.5 hr drive which is tiring both ways., so I don't see him on the week-ends. But we keep in touch quite often via phone. When our young adults are Boot Camp, a FS stands for "Future Sailor". On the initial page of the website, in the let column there is a small box that will help you understand abbreviations.
