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."

Mary, I heard on the radio this morning that it will be cleaned and filled shortly. I forget the exact date - but I think in the next couple of weeks.

Hi All! My Sailor will be an MA for two years this April. We also heard Bahrain when he was almost finished A school. Then, he heard Guam - then, he GOT Portsmouth, VA. Then, he went to Kuwait for a few months. Then, back to Portsmouth and did some additional training in Mississippi and again somewhere else. Then, (and now) - he is with a Maritime Expeditionary Security Squadron and they are stationed in Spain - but he is not there either.
He is somewhere 10 time zones away, though. What I am saying - don't count on ANYTHING until it happens!! Things change - especially with the Navy!

February 21st??? and he hasn't even started yet?---I am thinking probably the 1st or 2nd week of March? I would flip if it was that early! LOL

Ladies, when do your sailors leave A School? if it is at all possible, visit your sailors in at least March, if not around the first of April. Texas in the winter is not pretty, and we're having a beast of one this year. But the spring is glorious, our bluebonnets and wildflowers are all over and it's an amazing sight! You can drive to Fredricksburg to shop and have peach bread pudding at the German cafe, or go to Gruene Hall to hear some great music...in fact, if you're here March 28th, you can drive an hour to my house in Austin for a house concert with great music and a pot luck...
