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."

Doreen:Matt told me everyone passed the test yesterday, but apparently they all had a rough time with it...LOL But they all got through it! We drove from Jax, FL to Maine wednesday, & thursday! This is where we'll be moving from!
IT'S OFFICIAL:WE HAVE ORDERS TO WASHINGTON! MUST BE THERE IN 3 WEEKS =) I am so relieved!

Matt only has 2 or 3 more days of school---woohoo! I haven't booked my flight yet b/c he's afraid of failing the last test Monday but the airfare is going up super fast :( I hope we can still afford :) How is everyone else doing??

Good Morning All! We made it home safely last night around 5:15pm =) Be back later!

David - so true!! My son got an assignment on an island. When he got there he said he would not mind if the remaining time in the Navy (3 years) he had to clean toilets - this deployment was worth it. Within two weeks - he HATED it!!
Also, don't count on those assignments until they board the plane to go - things change!!!
Nope, he was not going PCP - He is in FC now - but I don't remember what he wanted but could not get~!
-
-
Wow - screened out of the Navy or just a particular job? Another Texas mom's son could not take some job with the Navy because his dad was from Brazil or Portugal (or somewhere else).
-

Thanks, David!! I know another mom on here whose son did that in Washington! He did not like the base when he first got there - but I think he does now.
Is that something the sailor chooses to do - or does he get "volun-told" to do it?
I was told that my sailor has a security clearance worth several thousand to a potential employer! A great hiring thing. I am not sure - because no one ever called the house and asked questions like I've heard them ask of others.

WHAT IS PRP????
-
-
thanks...he talked to legal and they said the same thing---it won't change! that puts me at ease! LOL
-
-
WELL, still no freaking ORDERS here! I sure hope we're still heading to WA....
-
-
Aw, good luck to your son, David =) I haven't heard from my hubby today---but we're really hoping we get WA since I'm driving from FLA to Maine---if we end up getting GA, i'll be a little ticked off LOL
