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."

Yes, ProudMama, we visited my son the first week of 2010 and are hoping to go back next year. It is really nice but I did not get to do or see all that I wanted to! Good reason to go back!!!

ProudMama I would call his recruiter, they should have a copy of it.

Our son will be graduating from "A" school in Groton next week. We got a call from the Navy today saying they needed to talk to him because they needed some more paperwork from him. When I asked what paperwork, the guy said page 1 from his enlistment. Does anyone know what page 1 is?

Thanks Nana Donna, it does sound like it would be a good idea to have one.

Oops didn't mean to make that order code so big Yikes. Sorry LOL
ProudMama - I did get my grandson a leatherman and he was very very excited about it. The instructor told him it was one of things they should have (I didn't know that at the time) I have heard that they would be handy for anyone on a sub.

Nana Donna, My son is graduating from A school this month. I'm looking for suggestions for something to get him for graduation. Did you get him something or do you know of something that he got that was useful. I did get the LLBean sleeping bag for Christmas and some of the mother's talked about Leatherman Tools, but my son is an ET-Com/Radioman and doesn't need those tools.
