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 mdubtxmom!! Good to see you --- we were in the PIR 2/11/11 group together. We use Skype and I've never had great luck ... always seems to freeze up and skip ... but we'll see how it goes once my daughter gets her laptop. I just sent her cell phone to her today (she'll have it tomorrow) ...
Jaime's in indoc as well --- called today and said that it's a self-paced school so she could actually be out in 2 weeks if she buckles down! Said there was another kid recently who got through it in 5 days. Also said that a whole group of them just got shipped to Italy and Japan ... she's hoping she might have a chance to do that.

Hello everyone. Thanks Cheryllynn for telling me about this group. My son is at Meridian MS in A school. He is actually in indoc right now and is waiting for his classes to start. He is so happy to be there instead of boot camp. He should have received his phone and computer today so hopefully we will be in regular communication now. We signed him up for skype and hope that we will be able to have video chats with him. Anyone else on here use skype?
