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."

Don't discuss future destinations or ports of call!
Don't discuss future operations or missions!
Don't discuss dates and times of when we will be in port or conducting exercises!
Don't discuss readiness issues and numbers!
Don't discuss specific training equipment!
Don't discuss people's names and billets in conjunction with operations!
Don't speculate about future operations!
Don't spread rumors about operations!
Don't assume the enemy is not trying to collect information on you so he can kill you, he is!
Be smart, use your head, and always think OPSEC and COMSEC when using email or phone!
Rules of thumb for parents and loved ones:
*If your sailor indicates to you they can't tell you something, believe them. Don't try to coax them into telling.
*If it is published by the navy about where a ship or unit has been (not going), that is when it's okay to share.
*If your sailor is in a high security area, say a nuke or EOD, consider using a nick name for them and you, a seperate email without your name on it, and don't even tell where YOU live. Let them tell you what they want you to tell others or if they are worried about info, always let them know you are on here. That's why they are careful on here about only putting first names on your profile page.
*Be aware, the OPSEC 10 points are about what they can't talk about. Think about what YOU might share as a parent or loved one of a military member that could cause trouble. You also have a responsibilty.
*Be respectful and teach other parents if they don't know and say too much, no need to be disrespectful or mean to them about it. Just guide them and let them know they maybe need to rewrite or delete the post. There isn't a member on here that wants to cause trouble or harm. They just aren't thinking or don't know.

Hi moms! I'm a corpsman mom stopping in to share a wonderful Seabees story from yesterday's news.
Yesterday near Buellton, California, a truck hit the back of a BMW carrying a mom, her 10 yr old & 10-week old. The truck plunged through the guardrail, the car smashed and left dangling off the bridge. While they were waiting, terrified, for an HOUR for rescuers to reach them, US Navy Seabees who were stuck in the traffic used the forklift they were transporting to keep the car from falling. Though the truck's driver was killed when the truck fell below, mom and daughters were extricated & only had minor injuries. That green thing in the photo is the forklift. Talk about a Bravo Zulu moment for your wonderful Seabees! Rescue, photos, video

Basically, they told her this month (earlier), she did not have to wait for the Sept. Since she had a special evaluation and was I guess recomeneded to take in March. So really that is not waiting the 9 mos. To me that is them telling her 9 mos early she can take it. May not make sense to many. Makes perfect sense to me and when I called her Uncle who is retired Navy he said same thing. When they tell you something early it is a good thing.

Just got told my kiddo got a "special evaluation" so now she will take her PO exam almost 9 mos early. was so excited. I told her all her hard work would pay off.
Now if some more movement happens that would be awesome. Hard to think that you are qualified to take the exam and can not get the higher rank since no moves have happened.
All is well though, this just shows me she is as strong as anyone and can do what she sets her mind to.

MalaMama: My son was in Afghan most of 2010....it takes lots of prayers, friends you can talk to and sending lots of care packages and letters to your Seabee...Just stay busy and cherish the contact you'll have through Skype, Facebook, Messaging, etc....It's a tough ride...but the ride will soon end...

Malamama, I already replied to you in the other group. (I didn't know your son is a Seabee...) This is a good place for general Navy or Seabee info...but the Iraq and Afghanistan group is the one that will carry you through. Take a deep breath and hang out with us.
