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."

Chris was in Meridian, and liked it enough, but outside od school there is not much to do. He really likes his job tho and also is in Jax although he is now (as of last fri) on dep in Qatar. So workhard if ur son is heading to jax that is an air base which usually means he will always be on base instead of on board ship

Hi Donna! How time goes by....... Chris is in 4 years this Sept and he just re-upped for just 1 year, how he did that I haven't a clue I thought the min was 2 but anyway he's stationed in Jax FL but leaving for dep shortly. I feel for you with your son heading so far for so long but I agree honey, get that passport!!!! I would love to go to Greece it is so beautiful. Friends of mine have family there and I'm sure they would welcome you:)
And by the way I am originally from W Spfld MA, my ex worked in Windsor Locks and my daughter lives in Enfield
