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."

Hi! I'm North of you near Washington, NC. I haven't posted here in awhile, but I believe some of the NC moms near the western part of the state actually got together !! And I keep thinking we could get together for lunch or tea sometime. If we did we should make Care packages for sailors or something fun. ~Susie
Oh! My son just moved from GC to BS for Prototype, he is also on hold for the sta-21 training. He's and EM3.. I hear Prototype is alot of school work AND hands on (just like PS) Prayers for all~~.
