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."

Hi Irene,
We (hopefully) plan on visiting the area some time next year. My son absolutely loves it there. He said it rains a little more than he's used to, since we're from California, but he's having a great time.

tasha, Join San Antonio MA's; there is a "Break down week by week" discussion that will let you know what happens at NTTC Lackland (San Antonio). You will also want to join MAA Moms. Another group to check out is New MAA Mom's, but it has not been very active. Security Sailors is also not as active and includes loved ones of Sailors from other ratings as well.
Join the group, DEP-Leavin for bootcamp in July to meet others with loved ones leaving that day/week who may be in the same TG and have PIR together. Be sure to check out Things to Do in the Last Month Before Your Future Sailor Leaves for.... I also suggest you join Boot Camp Moms (and loved ones) and New Members Stop Here and check out the Pages (found under the pictures of the Members) and Discussions there.
Your future Sailor should join http://www.navydep.com to learn the ins and outs from the DEP point of view. Craig runs that and will steer him to some good links on there.
