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."

Well had a nice weekend with my son. He on his way back to the base (Groton). We went to the mall, I decided to get him a camera so when he goes to Hawaii he'll be able to take lots of pictures and send them to us. And every where else he goes to. Its funny he won't be leaving til August and I'm kind of getting depress. I know its 2 months away but it sure comes fast.

SECF stands for Submarine Electronic Computer Field. I'm not sure but if I remember right before they finish BC they are either told or they get to chose what rate they would like to be. I'll have to ask my son on that one.

Hey Kirsten I see that Lee grad will be on Aug. 6th. I thought he started A school before my son. His grad will be on July 30th. Its true that his date was moved up this is the 3rd time it was changed. First Sept 3rd then Aug 7th now July 30th. Just glad I live near by so I don't have to buy plane tickets with all the changes.

WOW 2 cats. Thats not bad I have 1 cat which my son would love to take when he goes to Pearl Harbor. But like I told him you are going to be in the barricks at first. You don't need to worry about any animals when you go out to sea.
