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."

I got my ribbons from Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons and they are absolutely gorgeous. :)
If I can make it through the first few days of PSSA tests, then it'll be travel time for me. Am I the only one insane enough to drive or are others driving? I priced it out and gasoline both ways is equal to the cost of the plane ticket and I don't have to rent a car this way.

Navywife, my son is also headed to Groton CT for Sub school...BESS . He told me he got his orders and A school starts April 4 and ends May 25th. He said he was a Sat departure but didn't know the time. I'm sure they will be leaving together on the same flight.

Good afternoon ladies, does anyone know how to find out when the next BESS starts in Groton? I'm still trying to figure out if my son will be G&G and maybe if I find out the next BESS, I can figure it out. Talk about desperate huh? lol
