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."

A-school 1221, anyone else?

My boyfriend just classed up Monday, Feb 27th. Went down to see him the weekend before, and heading back down April 13th. Anyone else in this group? Heard the graduation date is August 3...

Yea, it was a very good visit :). I drove 15 hours though each way, and learned my lesson, and am only flying from now on. Are you far from charleston? I'm in NY. And yea I know my boyfriend's been super busy with classes and everything, so I don't think she should miss it too much!!!

oh no worries!!! Yes, my boyfriend said the bugs are pretty terrible! Is your daughter the one that got the 3.97 on the last test???!!! I hear the best score was a girl, and I know there wasn't many girls in the class. I was so excited to hear that though haha!

I think the official phase up day is tomorrow, and they'll be able to wear civ clothes for the weekend!! And drink and stay out later, I know my boyfriend's excited!

He's doing well :). Busy, but he seems to like it. I think he has no study hours, or as long as he does well on this math test today, he'll have no study hours so he's excited about that.

I'm from Buffalo, but the weather here lately is actually gorgeous!!! We had some snow a week ago, but now it's almost 70 right now. Buffalo weather is crazy haha. But definitely looking forward to being in Charleston weather!!! I actually just booked my flight for memorial weekend as well :)

I actually asked him about how she did this week, that's so funny haha. He said she's still doing very well!!! I think they're friends! his names Aaron btw.

Oh no!!! I hope we don't get more snow over here! It's supposed to go way back down in temp next week though, boo.

I know, he was very excited to wear normal clothes- those uniforms look like pains haha! I can't wait to see the beach, I'm so pumped!
