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."

Martyzmom,
My son was an AO during his first 4 year enlistment. He was attached to a squadron but did two deployments on a carrier. I'm glad he told me some of his stories AFTER he came back. Flight deck work is hazardous!!!
Where do you go to find the webcams. I was stationed in San Diego when I was in, and my daughter is stationed in WA!! What base is your son at?
Ighatfield,
Glad you are getting your feet wet!!!! We all have to start somewhere!! Some other abreviations you'll see here quite a bit are PIR = Pass In Review (the boot camp (bc) graduation!

I'm up for a "meet and greet" in Greensboro. I would really like to talk with Wanda, SuzieB, as my son is trying for Japan so try and get her to come. :)

I'm not sure what this group does. I'm just so new to all this. I'm from Vass, a little bitty town near Southern Pines. Actually, a transplant from S. Cal but lived here for the last 7 years. My son, Pat just went to boot camp on Feb. 17th soooo I'm just waiting to see how he's doing!
Lillian
Anyone from around here?

Thanks for the info!!! (Better late than never, right??!!)
