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."

MDM4 mom we almost missed our sons call on Saturday...luckily his brother never goes anywhere without his cell. He also is sick again. He says they get better, then they pas the cold around again. He finally went to the nurse to get something for the body aches and cough.
And I wonder why they added a week to the corpsman school? Well at least I think they will enjoy learning their field of choice. Did your son have medical training before the navy? -

Just curious, (and, I might not be correct with this) however, I read somewhere on the site or a blog that we are not supposed to post openly when the upcoming Battlestations will be held. Have you read anything about that? Somewhere on the site it said that if you do post openly about them, just click the x to remove the post. And yes, good luck to DIV 175!

MDM4 Mom - Wow...that's awesome. So sorry about your Dad - losing his battle with cancer. I am sure he would be more than proud of your son!!
