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 can't wait! A tip re waiting for results. I kept up with the STA-21 FY 10 discussion forum at Airwarriors.com. The results came out later than previous years--the second week of November. I saw that the results were posted before my son did. I called him immediately. Five minutes later, after he checked the results, he called me back with the good news.

Thanks Chris, I'm hoping that is the case as well. Last phone call we got from our deployed sailor was from the ship and not a great connection and when we asked if his package was ready - he replied something was in the mail....hoping that meant his package!
Been following Chris and Brady's experiences at NSI - hoping we will be following in footsteps next year!

Tomorrow is the FY11 STA-21 application deadline. I pray all applicants got their packages in on time. Now the wait begins!

I'm so bummed that I can't go out to New Port, RI at all. I think they only have about 6 more days of actually "Work"

Lee has one final this week. His grades are good and he's managing the PT well. LCDR (NFO) nephew in Newport to celebrate his first Father's Day. Lee had dinner with them and his other cousin last night. Three weeks from Thursday 6/24 I'll be there for a dinner. Can't wait.

Thats what I loved about the Navy, it totally seems like they want to see each other succeed. Brady's old roommate (who he lived with when stationed in FL) is in the process applying. I cant believe how much work is involved with program, but it kind of the first step to a nice career. So i understand that.

Whitney, sounds like Brady had a well laid planned which always helps. Our son was assigned cranking duty in the officer's wardroom and that seemed to have a lot of impact on him. He has received a lot of support and mentoring from those in the wardroom and they really encouraged him to apply.
