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."

Hello alexsmom! Sounds like you are about half way through this boot camp adventure! Hang in there mom...it is worth the ride! I am in the Dallas area. My son graduated in January and is at Nuke school now. Don't know if you have heard yet, but we have a DFW area Navy Moms group that meets once a month for supper. We would love to have you join us. This month it is on July 29th at 7 pm and will be at Buca di Beppo, an Italian restaurant on Park Lane. Unfortunately, I will not be able to attend this month because I will be on the road to go to my sailor's A school graduation. We have a wonderful time together, and our new moms who have kiddos in boot camp can get valuable hints about going to PIR! If you think you can make it I will put you in contact with someone who will be there.
