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."

A School

Was curious if there was anyone who's loved one was staying in Great Lakes and attending A school there for Corpsman? My son is in Ship 11 Div 065 and has made friends with another boy who will be attending there.

He hasn't been specific with names. Sometimes he tells me so much so fast I forget names and try to listen to the details I know I will need to know. I apologize for that. My son is J.R. So if you hear of anything please let me know. If I hear of anything I will do the same.

My son is also going to A school in GL and he is Ship 11 Div 065.  I don't recall my son mentioning a J.R. all I ever hear is last names when we have talked or in his letters.
