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."

My son is just beginning A school for MA. Just wondering what kinds of jobs your kids are doing and where. If they have been to several places which did they like the best? I know it's not up to them where they go but I was just wondering what are the possibilities. Thanks moms!

Does anybody's son or daughter graduate Feb 3rd? Wondering who has a child in my son's class or group. Would love to meet any mom out there to connect with. I just saw what my son will have to endure when going through that OC spray. All I can say, OMG! Good luck to him and all that have to experience it!! Hope they recover from it alright.

jessang, "A" School will be longer than 7 weeks since there will be a Stand-down over Christmas and New Year's. Your Sailor will know the dates and will tell you when his graduation is scheduled.

jessang, the discussion, Break down week by week, will answer most of your questions.
