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."

Good info ladies.....I will get a Navy scrapbook too! Sounds great my son will love it, he's creative got it from my sista. I'll get her to help me put some things together in it that he would appreciate....and let my daughter scrabble on one of the pages. He missed her first day of school and was concerned :)

@Linda- I was referring to the account that the SR had at home before he left for BC. It is my understanding that each SR has to opportunity to open a NFCU account during processing if they A. don't have an account elsewhere B. Did not bring info for direct deposit or C. they just want to open an account there
The SR will set up the login info and you will have to get that info from them, unelss perhaps you have a power of attorney ? possibly? I would imagine that the online access to their NFCU account will have to be set up after they get out of BC seeing as how they don't have internet access. I could be wrong though. Another benefit of having this NFCU account as well as USAA is their checks get deposited a day earlier. Someone pointed this out to me at the beginning of the month. So if payday is on a Monday, they will get theirs on the Friday before!

Omg that is awesome that you sons are together! They will never feel alone. I think that is just cool. Especially that coordinate calls and such and switch off. And to be in the same division is even cooler cause they have a support system built in already. I wonder if they kind of separate them out though? Are they competitive with each other? Haha, I just think its cool. I wonder if twins ever go in like that? I bet on occasion they do.
