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."

it is run by the defense department
they take military service and work with the service members with their education and help them become teachers
in Texas alot of the jobs are in the Houston area or in Del Rio in west texas real close to the Air Force Base there.
I work in Whitesettlement and we have two wonderful excellent Troops to Teachers Teachers they are both Army women and one teaches Spanish and the other teaches high level math and they are very patient teaches.
especially the math teacher she is very good at her job due to being in the Army

Well, they cancelled the swim test, it has been postponed indefinitely..now they are all in limbo, just waiting to get all the certifications they need so they can do the job they were sent there to do. My sailor is getting bored, doesn't do well with inactivity!! Tends to spend more money that way,too. Already looking for a vehicle so he can get around...
