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."

Can my son have a coffee maker in his room? I know they can't have anything to cook with not sure if a coffee maker falls into that category?

He has met someone in his school from Connecticut. It is so exciting not to know where you will be going. Such an adventure. He looks so good.

It's good he has someone to give him tips. I'm in north central Conn on the mass boarder. My friends son and niece were/are corpsmen. He got out last year and she's at Bethesda navel hospital.as a surge tech.

We hope to. He was here for Thanksgiving and is coming for Christmas. I'll probably get down there before he leaves. I have a good friend in southeastern PA that is not too far from Fort Meade which might be a good place to spend some time together.

Cryptology sounds interesting. His A school is until April. I'm just learning some of these terms. My husband was a corpsman in preventive medicine. He's given him a lot of tips. We're in southeastern CT.

Cryptology, there are several types. CTR,CTN,CTT,CTM,CTI. Hope I didn't forget any. They all do different things. Never realized ft Meade had Aschools. How long is his A school? I'm from Connecticut too.

He went there Oct 9th after boot camp graduation on Oct 7. He is there for Mass Communication A school. His address at Fort Meade is on Armored Cavalry Road. What is CT?

Kerry,how long has your son been there?
-

My son is sharing room with two others and talked about getting internet in their room while he was home but doesn't like the idea of giving out his SS #. His building has no cooking facilities whatsoever, and he loves to cook. He misses that. I don't think he has much free time for games by the sound of things.

Oh good, there is hope. LoL. Does anyone know who the cable/ Internet provider is for the base? I think I'm done with questions now. But don't hold me to it.
