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."

ViperGirl your son is Marine Option, correct? i believe the marine pilots have to go to TBS before flight school and that is what is backed up about a year, according to my son. Navy pilots do not have that delay.

Yes, welcome StacyM. No such thing as interrupting. My son is a senir at the University of Rochester studying Chemistry. Will your son be commissioning in May? My brother was in the Army and he taught at Norwich--a long time ago.

Comment by NavyMarineMum on October 27, 2013 at 5:10pm

Hi everyone, I don't mean to interrupt, but I just want to make sure I'm in the right place. My Son is a Senior in College at Norwich University studying International Studies with a Minor in Chinese. He has an NROTC Scholarship there. Am I in the right place? Thank you, Stacy-

Congrats to all!  As far as i know our son's unit hasn't heard anything -- or they're putting off telling them cuz the Navy Ball was last night.  Hmmmm

Comment by helenp on October 26, 2013 at 4:46pm

Congratulations to all the sons and daughter as they get their service assignments. Four years of hard work and soon they will be Jr officers. On to Pensacola......

Comment by helenp on October 25, 2013 at 5:21pm

My son's Unit just got their service assignments. He got PILOT! He's so excited. I'm so proud of him, but all I can think is, "He's going to have to land on an aircraftcarrier at night!" LOL

Comment by J/J Mom on October 16, 2013 at 12:15pm

Lukes mama ... congrats for your son!  Praying the interview goes well for him.  Thus begins another journey  :] 

Comment by J/J Mom on October 4, 2013 at 8:52pm

Thanks helenp, that's good to know.  My son may know that, but if he does, he hasn't told us!!  lol

Comment by helenp on September 28, 2013 at 10:15am

My son was informed that Navy service assignments will be delayed at least a month. They usually are made in October, and now they're saying by Thanksgiving. The board that meets sometime in late September is now meeting after the budget stuff is more clear.
