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."

Amber~ No he is not able to have a POV, they are not able to drive at all until after graduation from school. They have taxi's and vans that a few people can pitch in to ride (to go off base), It's usually $5 a ride. There is also a bus that they can use to go anywhere on the base. I hope this helps a little.

Adamsgf~ No, my husband graduates the follwing week. Josh's 27 almost 28 so yes that makes them the grandpa's of the group. Send me a private message of your bf's last name and I will do they same so we can ask them is they know each other. But I was looking at the pictures and he does look familar. I am here today and I'll be here through the weekend. Have you been able to visit yet? Josh has a few friends that are graduating that day so I bet that may how I have seen Adam. This is my 3rd visit here, but my 1st alone (without our children). Talk to you soon!

Pepecola~ I told my husband to keep his eye out for a Corey that will be coming in soon. He has been showing the new guys around and helping with learning schedules so he may come across him. My husband is one of the older guys in the group so I think he tries to help "show the ropes." If you need anything just give me a shout!
