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."

Thanks for your honesty Real Life. My son already knows that he will hate the desk job but that is all that was available when he went to MEPS so he took it. He is already planning a cross rate. Not sure how many more there will be in his class and he has decided that shore based is fine with him but he is hoping for Texas California or Florida. He knows his rear end belongs to the NAVY for the next four years so he will make it work and then have money to go to school.

We want to know everything Real Life! Do you like your job? Did some in your class get stationed on a ship? How long did it take to finish? Whatever you want to share would be great!

HI REAL LIFE!! WOW ... any information is good information at this point. I felt like there was SO much information available about boot camp --- but I don't know much about what my daughter is going through in A school. Could she really be done in a couple of weeks? How are duty stations assigned?

Good morning everyone!! Snow removal came by the other day so now we don't feel so buried alive here...yay. An early spring would be awesome. We've been sick most of the winter.
My youngest uses Skype, she has a blast with it and her friends. She is 12. Jonathan doesn't have a computer yet but once he does we will skype....can't wait.
