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."

That's great to hear! We live about an hour and a half from there, so I am very excited that my son will be there for A school! Maybe we will get to meet your son.

Matt's Mom and Sally:
My son Aaron is also on Ship9 Div 004. He was set back three weeks based on a test he took early on. He arrived on 8/29. We have received letters from him every Wednesday for four straight weeks. All have been very positive. He has also called three times just to provide updates - like being set back and getting assigned to a new division.
He will also be going to A school in P'cola. The more time that passes, the faster the days go by.Aaron's mom.

Heather, I believe my son is in the same little Bible study group with yours. I was really excited to hear that they have already formed a group. It was a big answer to prayer.

If I am correct, my son is going to P'cola for A school. Which will be good. He will be close to family in southwest Georgia.
