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."

I had the most amazing /awesome weekend with my new sailor. I was so tired but I kept up with him, I thought he would have wanted to just chill but he just wanted to go and go. I am so proud of him I can't say it enough. Today is his first full day in Pensacola I'm sure he is just chilling today he said he had liberty today also. I'm not as stressed now that he is in A school because I will be able to more contact with him then when he was in BC. Congrats to all the sailors and their families. Hooya!!!!

Ok, so it has been a few months since I've been on here. My son went through PIR in April. Yellowtorpedo, are you going to Sarge's Meet n Greet tonight?? I highly recommend it if they still have it! You are going to have an absolute ball the next few days. PIR was one of the most special times for our whole family. You are going to be so proud of your son.

Can anyone tell me if I can take my cell phone into graduation to take pictures, my son said cameras and videos were allowed. I hope I can take my cell because I don't have a camera or video.
