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."

Yes, thank you! It was awesome to walk into the Hall and be spotted by you sweet friends! What a blessing! Thanks for being there during those eight weeks. I know we'll sometimes check back to see how our Division kiddos are doing. Be sure and update here from time to time and let us know!

Okay, received the "Keel" today.... Our group is labeled "Ship 12 Division 168." Really? Well, It's very nice except for that error. Ethan looks either sick or distracted in every single shot, except for when he's just not there. LOL Poor kid; found out at graduation that he caught EVERYTHING, and was sick almost all the time; so proud of him for his tenacity! He could easily have let several things put him back in training, which I'm sure must be a temptation when you're miserable. God love him! He is headed for his first assignment; he just finished A school last week. He is here, and I am filling up my eyes and heart with him. He'll be on a Nimitz-class carrier, The Stennis. Love you all! It was nice to look through at all the portraits. Hope all the kiddos are doing well. Fair winds and following seas......

Good to hear from you Larisa --they didn't make a mistake on the Keel book the 12 stands for the year not the ship #. My son is just getting started with his schooling in Pensacola,FL he will be there for about a year and half. Wishing your son Ethan best of luck and safe travels and he begins his Navy journey.

Ohhhhhh, okay. Well, that makes sense! I didn't even think about that. Well thank you for "learnin'" me that. LOL I am glad your son is beginning; he must have been anxious to get going. Ethan was doing PS training, and it is self-paced; needless to say, he finished up as quickly as he could! He seems happy, and his bed looks really nice every day! LOL
Blessings to you, your family, and all of the Navy Family out there~
