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."

I agree flight deck does seem dangerous!! I have one that is a kid of few words too!! Went to Yoesmite National Park yesterday, and all I got was I had fun.
No other details. :( Hoping that when we talk he will say more. I didn't realized tht being an SK was labor intensive. Mine says he works outside one day a week.

Donna didn't your son go to a ceremony awhile back for honoring his ship?? How was that??? Has he told you what is the worst part for him to be an SK????
