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."

Hello all
I am so excited to have this site, I am learning a lot. Our daughter is on ship 2 div 908 . She will be going to San Antonio for A school as an MA?

NavyMomNewbie - yes it is. I am so excited for PIR and it looks as though some SRs are making phone calls, needless to say - phone is glued to my side! We are so happy that she has made the decision to serve but we still miss the heck out of her. Can't wait to hear her voice and find out what her role is in 908.

I'm staying at the Navy Lodge and they said it's 1.5 miles from graduation. Does that mean it's on base too? No one checked my background that I know of.

just had to give them my personal info and they do some type of background check...i think that's what the eligible means...you find out if you pass in two-three weeks!
