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."

Hello all, from Minnesota. My sailor arrived in GC early early this a.m. Looking forward to your wealth of experience here, in this group. Do any of your sailors play hockey? I know he will be very busy, but later, when he phases up, he may want to do a little drop in hockey. Not sure how active the hockey community is in SC. (I also posted this in Nuke Moms group - not sure if I'm in the right place for this question) Thanks!

Thank you!!

From what I recall when my son was there I don't believe they can put things on the walls (but I don't actually remember!). They do have room inspections - maybe a small picture frame on his desk would be ok.

Hello all! I was just curious as to how much freedom the sailors have to decorate their rooms in GC. I've read that they can choose bedding and similar things, are they allowed to hang posters or anything like that? Thanks so much!

Harley - wow - sorry to hear about your daughter's snowboarding accident! Hopefully she will be able to keep up with A School, but it's possible she could get rolled back a class.
You should join our nuke mom's group - it's more active than this page and you will get more (and quicker) responses over there.
