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."

Hey! Andie here! I'm in a suburb of Chattanooga. My oldest son arrived today in Monterey, CA. He is doing 2 years of A School for CTI. I really wish I had found this site about 8 weeks ago! Anyone else from Southeast TN?

Happy Thanksgiving, Tennessee Moms and Sailors (and families, of course)! My son will be driving the 10 hour trek tomorrow evening from Pensacola to spend a few days in this wonderful state. He hasn't been home since Spring. Excitement abounds here in upper East TN!! I am thankful!

Great!! We have east TN respresented! My son graduated boot camp July 30 and was a Grad and Go....and has been in Pensacola since then. We took a longggg vacation (almost 3 weeks) and went to Pensacola recently to visit when he was able. He had phased up so we got to see him everyday. We camped on base in the military campground---it was nice to be a "part." He is 25...so a little older going in. He is in aircrew and currently in A school. He is coming home for Thanksgiving AND Christmas!!! yeah!
