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."

Welcome Lisa Ann. If as your sailor goes through A school, if you find something that I need to change in the week by week, please let me know.

So this PRP thing doesn't sound too great anymore! Thanks for the info b/c my hubby has what we women like to call "selective hearing"! Typical man-huh? LOL
We are really hope we will get sent to WA!! We are ready to see the world and travel a bit while we're still young :)

that sounds right! he couldn't tell me what it stood for-so I had to do my own research! I guess him and a few other guys are up for PRP so he's really praying he'll get it :) I am so proud of him!

Does anyone know what a "PRP" is? My hubby said something about maybe getting this while he was in school...that it has alot of advantages! Just wondering if anyone has any experience with this?

Good Morning Everyone!! I am so excited that this phase of our life has begun!! Once my hubby hits phase 2 in the next few days-I will begin our countdown!! WOOHOO

My sailor started his classes today--YAY!!! Good Luck baby!!! I know you'll make us even prouder = )

I agree. I think that it could be done by a pop-up that asks Yes/No Does your Username contain your last name or that of your sailor or email address? If someone answers Yes, then they would be prompted to change it to something else.
-
-
Yep, I saw. Lots of people do not know about that and it is a safety and OPSEC issue.

Yes, "colors" is the presenting of the flag in the morning and retiring it in the afternoon....
Texas is in the Continental USA...we have the US Post Office here! If your sailor is mailing, you'll get it!
