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."

Thanks, Emma, for the info. Joining the Navy has made my "short" son glad he is short for the first time in his life! Thank goodness he is not claustophobic.

Hey for the sailors and families that got their orders! Mine is in AZ and should graduate on Tues, anybody else have one in that place?

Joymar: Tried to private message you several times to correct my 1st message, but site was having issues and they wouldn't go through. Re-read your PM and saw where you had mentioned he was shore duty, taking finance class and graduation next week. Sorry I was redundant and asked those same questions...again! Kind of tired today! :-)
Maussie: I'm sure that they have minimal room. But if anyone can live that way, my son can. He is a man of "few things." :-) Maybe meant for the military??
He had no clue that his ship was "dry docked" until I told him...they didn't mention that to him. Read an article on line that said it will be 2.5 more years at least before it is complete. So he sounds like he will have "shore duty" on a ship????
Sharon: YEAH! So glad that he will finally be coming home. One of the "powers that be" told my son that he most likely will be gone next week also, but who knows?

Sharon, I thought they didn't need passports in the military? Have things changed?
-
-
Have you been on a ship dianne? How much space do they have? I bet they have to be minimalists. :))
-

maussie: Well, he won't be at sea. The ship is in dry dock in Newport News VA. So I guess he will work on it and live on it there? I understand it will not be ready for service again until 2-3 more years! So on a ship in port....

Sharon: Maybe so. You never know!
