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."

Joyce....that's great that your son is happy and wants to extend his contract. In a weird way - I hope my son does too. How long has he been in?
sboli....my son signed for IT which was what we all wanted. I was so relieved about that. He signed for 4 yrs and 2 reserve (at least I think that what he signed for).
Did either one of you throw a party? Mine is planned for Sept. 10th and I was wondering if you had any ideas.

invisible: im originally from LI and have lived in queens for 30 years now. My son has recently told me he is thinking of extending his contract for an additional 2 years and then see if he wants to reenlist for another four after that,We keep encouraging him to stay in the navy for the security and benefits especially the way the job market is today. He is getting married in sept 2013 so his gf is not to happy about the reenlistment idea but he keeps talking about it and i think she will realize and come around
