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 is so awesome that your sailor is coming home too. Woohoo!
We are still waiting to hear about the dates for BS21. Unfortunately, we haven't heard from most of our recruits for awhile and are hoping that soon we will receive letters with the dates in them. Thanks for the prayers!

Sailor'sGirlNukeWifetoBe, Thank you so much for your kind words. It's hard to believe that it's almost our recruits turn for graduation. Our recruits were allowed to take leave to come home for the holidays before reporting to A school. Many of them are doing it. We consider ourselves very lucky to be able to have them home for Christmas.

ok my sailor was on 12/3 and now he is in his next command.... anybody know if this batch of sailor is going straight home when they graduate or would they need to report on their next command first???
