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."

Jana, it's good that you belong to the group for his ship; it will probably be the most helpful. The other groups sometimes have interesting info especially about the area.

Jana, I was thinking you had a Sailor, but I could not remember and your profile is set perfectly so that I could not check. Thank you for your kind words.

For others. The default Privacy Setting on N4M is "Anyone." That means that ANYONE with access to the web has access to everything on your My Page. To change that, make change number 3 at the bottom of OPSEC and PERSEC (Making Changes to Your Profile), While you are there, read the Page and see if there are other changes you need to make.

Jana, here is more info for you. Since your Sailor will go to "A" School for Interior Communications Electrician (IC) also check out IC- Sailors. You may also find others with loved ones with that rating in Engineers, Snipe Moms, and Snipe Moms(enginers). You will also want to join Great Lakes A School Q&A and GL A-school moms. You can also check out the Training Support Center (TSC) Great Lakes Facebook Page. The Rating Information Card for IC can be found at https://www.cool.navy.mil/enlisted/rating_info_cards/ic.pdf
