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."

My son left Great Lakes this morning for A school at Fort Meade. He is looking to this new adventure.

Hello everyone, I am glad to see this group getting some activity again. My son has been at Ft. Meade since July as a student at DINFOS for Mass Communications. He loves it. He does say the classes are difficult. It takes a lot of studying. My only suggestion to you NavymomofCO is to encourage your son to stay focused on school. Good luck to your son, I'm sure he will do great! Are you planning any trips to visit? I have not been there yet but would love to go for Thanksgiving (we are in Florida.)

Good to hear from some of you. My son starts classes for Mass Communications on Monday. He just graduated high school the past spring, and PIR was last Friday. So, we're definitely learning a great deal with this transition. I would love to get some guidance on what to expect next, and some suggestions on how I can help my new Sailor be successful. Thanks in advance.

At Navy Mom Chas: My son is also part of Div 258 that is at Ft Meade. We will be visiting there mid September. I think the group of men from 258 have met each other and have become better friends at Meade. Glad things are going well.

My son just arrived at Ft Meade on 7/13/13. We've already been there to see him and visit with friends in DC area. Then my husband just got back from driving our son's car to him at Ft Meade with some things he can now have like his laptop and iPad. It's great to be back in touch. I'd like to keep in contact with other moms who have SA's at Ft Meade. I recognize a few faces in members who were part of our son's Ship 12 Div 258 at RTC. Please stay in contact.

Have you had your son look into the Navy Lodge? There are 2 one in Bethesda and one in Annapolis. About 30-40 minutes. Traffic in the area can be..um..not the best though at times
