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."

Have a great trip Carole. You will have to let us all know what Ceremonial Guard Boot Camp is. I've lived in Nebraska for the last two years and we had to buy all new jackets and clothes, coming from So Cal we were not prepared!! Enjoy the graduation!

Hi Diana, I lived in La Sierra for 22 years before moving to Nebraska two years ago. We may know some of the same people, especially if you were involved in PTA.

Hi, I'm Karen and Mom to Sailor KC and I live near Anaheim. My son has been in for fifteen months now and his ship left this past Monday on delpoyment. Homeport is in Washington and the ship will be making a brief stop in San Diego this coming weekend so I'll get to see him again for a little while before they head out again. KC was recently home on leave and I was able to spend a little more time with him when I had flew back with him.

Hello ladies, My son is in bc due to PIR on 9/26. He decided to go reserves so after A school I get to have him back! He should be home in January and will then attend Cal State Long Beach. He will drill at least once a month in San Diego. So far he's having fun and enjoying bc...he's only 17 so everything is fun. We live in Montclair.
April, I'm sorry theres a rift between you and your son...why and who is angry?
