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, yes, yes get them out before..Ryan's never bothered him. I never even gave them a thought. Was stunned when he said they took them out..with only Novocaine. YIKES!!.. I"m making sure Kyle has his out before he leaves..One less thing to deal with in BC.

Hi Chrissy,
What will your son be doing?

Thank you Therese, glad to be here. Having a get-together for family and friends for our son Matt Saturday night before he leaves for bootcamp on Feb 1, i can't believe how fast is will be here ;(

Valtameri, from what little I know going in undesignated is not really the best as he may get stuck in something he doesn't want and my now be able to move from.. However (I forget the name of the form) but I believe if he picks something he can make sure the paperwork is filled out stating he want xyz job before he leaves for bootcamp. I'll ask Kyle what it's called. Did your son score high on the ASVAB if so he qualifies for a ton of jobs..but they may not all be open at the moment.

Val ~ good luck to your son! Keep us posted :)
Chrissy ~ welcome to the group!
Domeneca is still committed to joining the Navy this year after graduation. I went to the divorce attorney last week. Big changes coming but all for the good. Keeping you all in my thoughts!
