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."

My son left for BT last week. We live in Pearland and I'm still trying to figure all this stuff out. I'm extremely proud of all our kids and know that the rest of you are as well.

My son is set to graduate C School in Norfolk in June. He will have leave after that and wants to come home to TX. He will be returning to Norfolk after leave.
Does he have to pay to fly / travel home for leave and back to VA ?
Do you have any recommendations on airlines that give military discounts ?

Happy to be a part of the Texas Moms group. My son leaves for BT at the end of this month. We're excited and nervous, but we know he's going to do well. Just reading all the info that I need to learn keeps my mind busy. Thank you all for the support.

Good Morning Ya'll!!
I am from the small town of Moulton TX located in Central Texas. My son left in Feb for OCS and is past the 8th week so he is headed for a May 18th graduation. Lucky for me, my son will be training, hopefully, mostly in Texas for the next 2 years. We are a first time military family so I am very thankful for these groups that have valuable information in them! The acronyms are a bit confusing I have to admit but I hope to catch on soon.

Congratulations ProudMom! I live in Missouri City. My son has been in for just over 2 years now. He's getting ready for his first deployment in July. So excited for him and know he'll be OK. Trained and worked hard and i'm full of confidence for him.
He'll be coming home in May for 2 weeks... Can wait.
There is a group i joined called "Tip of the Spear". Its a group of military moms/dads/sisters, etc. who collect various items, donated or bought, pack them and ship to the worst outposts where our troops come into the most harm. It is not a monthly gathering but rather box packing get together. I've been to two and love it. Makes me feel closer to my son.
There is a charity golf outing on May 3 that will benefit this group. If you want to get involved, go online to tipofthespear.org Mary Williams is located here in Houston.
Happy to meet up exchange 'war' stories - lol !
