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 all. :)
I know I saw a few moms out there today who mentioned their sons were in class 1101 starting in November. It'll be here before we know it!
For those of you who don't know, I'm Aaron's girlfriend. He's an EM who graduated A school in September. :)
I can't wait to get to know all of you, and hopefully meet you all in April! :)

Looking forward to meeting you in April. I got the chance to meet Aaron in September. My son is an MM.

My husband and I will be celebrating our 24 yr anniversary on the 18th, Maybe we will make a week of it.
Maybe we are the only two!
I know there's one other that commented that she had a sailor in this class. I'll let her know this discussion is here. I'm sure there's more out there. :)

Although... We appear to be the only ones who's sailors graduated on September 3rd. I heard that some of the guys who graduated October 8th have to wait until January to class up now!! Crazy!

But, are you enjoying your time with your son? :)
Yes I am. I'm sure you are enjoying your time as I haven't seen you here much :)
I'm here now, no need to worry! I'm not going anywhere..I know I haven't been on much lately but I still do check in every week.. My son is a MM also!!
Hurray! Welcome! :)
There's so many MM's!!
my3sons...I luv your user ID.  I have 3 boys too...oldest in the Navy.  We are looking forward to going to the graduation in SC.  We've never been there, so very excited, as we've heard the Carolinas are beautiful!
My son graduated from A school Sept 17th. He went back on Sept 27 :'( . Not as sad as leaving him for bootcamp at the recruiter's station, but kind of, as he walked through security by himself...

My3sons, my son is also an MM. Nice to meet you! I'm hoping we can support each other through the next few months!!!!! Becky
Aaron's girl, so MM's and EM's go to power school together???
They'll all be in the same "class," but they won't be in class together. Does that make sense? :)
They'll have the same dates as far as graduation and such go, but they'll be learning different material for their different rates. :)
My boyfriend is in this class too! Its awesome there's a few of us here
I almost asked what rate your boyfriend was... Silly me. How could I forget! :)
