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."

My son graduated in 2004, was winged in 2006, has been on one deployment, and was recently selected for Test Pilot School- yes they take NFO's! It's been an exciting and sometimes emotional few years.
Please tell us a little about yourself and your NFO. If you have questions about training, deployment, or anything else, please ask. There will be several members with experience to help out the newbies.

Yes! Though he has been on the road 180 days in the first year. Fallon seems to be more of "part-time" residence than we realized. In fact, his birthday is Thursday & I'm hoping he'll be home long enough to get his packages.
What platform is your Ds on, Patty?

Depending on what version of the E2 will determine where they end up. Some of the E2 training is in Norfolk and some is elsewhere. My NFO is currently in E2 in Norfolk but will be moving to CA for continuation of his training.

Hi Marianne! Is your SD in NV now? My SD is an instructor there, too!

Yes, the E2 (E2C or E2D in the newest version) is the designation.for the Hawkeye. The unofficial motto is "You can run, but you can't hide) because their equipment is amazing. Or, at least the unclassified stuff is.
I thought all the E2 final training was in Norfolk, but the Navy changes things around so much that I don't even try to keep up. Winging will be amazing!

I mis-spoke when I said my kid was in Jacksonville. I had been texting back and forth with a friend there and had that on the brain. He is in Pensacola. He just got his assignment, he will be on the E2 (Is that the Hawkeye, I think?). Winging will be end of June, maybe. We are no longer in St. Charles. We are now in Texas. But good friends with an NFO are still there. She may be in about the same class as yours, Marianne. She just did 3 years in Japan also. Went back to Whidbey Island and is now headed to Itally.

Marianne,
I look forward to meeting you and other moms. Let me know what works for you. My Weekends and Mondays are pretty open.

Welcome 1after909!
I'm in Wilmette and would love getting together with other area moms in the spring. I teach high school on the NW side of Chicago. Geneva & St. Charles are great fun, so perhaps we can meet out that way.
JediGrey, are you still in the area?
My DS is on Hawkeyes. After winging, he did 3 yrs. in Japan and just finished his first year as an instructor at "Top Gun".
It's always an adventure!

Hello JediGrey!
Yes, we are in Geneva.

1after909-My son is also in Jacksonville, and we used to live in St. Charles. Are you near there by any chance?

Hello,
My son received his commission in October, 2014 in RI. He is currently in Jacksonville. I live in the far west suburbs of Chicago. I am eager to meet other moms!
