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."

Hi Fellow Navy Moms!
My sailor son is currently deployed and has been gone since May 1st but it feels like so much longer than that.
I hope everyone is doing okay. I am trying to read through all the comments and love that there is so much love for our sailors expressed here.
Praying for safety and success to all of our sailors.
BTW, I am in East Texas in a town called Henderson which is close to Tyler, Texas and about 100 miles East of Dallas.

Hi, neighbors,
I am from Wylie (Rockwall County) and my daughter is currently at boot camp (DEP 1/15/2019). She also lives in Plano, Texas, too, with her Dad.
She is going into the Hospital Corpsman -San Antonio for A school, from my understanding. This is all so new and confusing to say the least.

Hi Y'all! I am new to this group. My sailor just graduated from boot camp last Friday - January 11th. PIR was impressive and I loved it! My son is in Mississippi for "A" School now, studying for Logistics Specialist. I am a new Navy Mom and I am interested in learning all I can about Navy life. I would appreciate direction to learn about "A" school, and beyond. What to expect, plan visits, etc. Where can I read about it all?
