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."

Renee...keep us updated! Looking forward to hearing how it turns out. :)

Renee and Anna...it's GREAT to see some activity on here again!!
WHERE they are stationed makes SUCH a difference in the experience and joy they find in their jobs! Some places are much more difficult to be at than others. And the command at each place sets the tone for the entire group.I hope everyone finds their RP is a wonderful, supportive place...and that GOD gives them strength and wisdom if they're not! :)

Renee E - I, too, hope he can be stateside. :-)

Renee E. - oh, sorry, CB means Construction Battalion...in Gulfport, Ms. several Construction Battalion Units are stationed. this is the Navy official site http://www.navy.mil/local/ncbcgulfport/
Good to hear that he enjoys helping others - he'll be great for this job. I do know that when our son took his Petty officer test and started doing more, it was more challenging but it's one of those jobs that is necessary in order to keep ministry and helps going on our military bases and on deployments. They do lots in the community...building relationships between Navy and neighborhood, too.
How long has he been in the Navy?

Renee E - My son has been an RP for a bit now and is serving on a Navy CB base in Gulfport. He was deployed, early on, to Okinawa...but is in homeport, now. Their job is multi-focused but if he likes helping others, he will do fine!
sharbear36 - you do have a little while...they all go through A school, first.
Glad to see a little activity in this group :-)
