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."

My son just arrived at Penscacola FL yesterday, he called last night....and he got the shock of his life. I told him in the mist of our conversation that it was 10:00 at night and he said...."NO..it's 9:00!"... I replied. "Ah, no it's not, it's 10:00 at night EASTERN time, it's 9:00 at night Central time, so, you must have forgot to change your watch to Eastern time"...he went in panic mode! He was supposed to "check-in" no later than 9:45....which means...he hung the phone up VERY quick and went to report.....good Lord...I hope he didn't get in too much trouble.
Besides that, he said he has 2 room mates and they seemed really "cool"...so, that's a good thing. He's very driven to be the top 10% of his class during this schooling....good goal for him.....
He's Aviation Electronic Engineering..... -

Michael is at GL for GM. He will finish SCC tonight, then be put on hold for ATT. He thinks he may be on hold for a month and a half. Michael has an interest in VBSS once he gets to his fleet. We will wait and see.
