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."

Sorry to hear about your folks. That has got to be hard for everyone involved.
The mail does take a long time! Takes 2-3 weeks to the island. They had a huge shipment also!! Something about the plane breaking down along the way.
He arrives home on Sunday, Jan. 15th, unless he can catch an earlier flight once in the states. I cannot wait to see him. It has been a long year.

Hi Chris's Mom and welcome to PS Mom's. My son was in Meridian last year. It's pretty laid back. Out in the middle of nowhere with not much to do. When was PIR? Is it today?

Hello my son is going to A School in Meridian on Friday . Just getting some info and looking for other PS moms with sailors in Meridan =)

Lynn, will Mike see the big game on the Carl Vinson; NC against Michigan State?

Hi Everyone. Just checking in to see how everyone is. Life seems so busy at times. Hope all is well. Anyone getting ready for the Holidays yet? We just had a huge snowstorm; got 22 inches. Snowblower broke. We were trick or treating in the snow. It is all melted now.
My son did not go to C school. I hope that he takes advantage of what he can do while he is in. I've been hearing rumors that he knows when he is coming home, but I'm not suppose to know. LOL..

My daughter is a PS stationed at Recruiting HQ in Millington ... it is similar to HR work, from what I understand. There is a fine line, at least for her, between what is a YN responsibility (Yeoman) and what is a PS responsibility. She just does what's she's told ... smart girl!
Anyway, I'm interested in learning about C School too, as I wasn't aware that there was a C School for PS .... I also wasn't aware that you could be a PS attached to a squadron. Would that still be a Seaman? Or if they're attached to a squadron do they become Airman?

Also Lynn...when they are deployed, they are usually overseas for a project of some type, right??

I live in NJ and I could drive to VA to visit from time to time if she ends up there but Washington is too far for that! :( So, Mike lives and works on the ship part of the year and at the base part of the year. I'm guessing that Megan will be living on the ship and not on base..I'm not sure...this is somewhat new to me. Tell me about C school. What's that all about? Also...does Mike enjoy his job?? It sounds almost like an HR position. Am I right?
