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 was initially signed up for Aircrew too but the morning of his swearing in, he was switched to Engineering. He so badly wanted to go to Fla. Is your whole family attending PIR on 6/4? I'm assuming your flying beings that you're coming from CA.
