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."

Diana, enjoy your time with your son! I did not think I could quit hugging mine. It was very emotional and wonderful.

If you know where the Cowboy Church is, then you are less than a mile from my house. We live on the same road. We used to be in the riding club at the church. Ran all the playday and barrel races. Watched the team roping quite a few times but our horses were trained for sorting and play days. I am so happy that there are so many mom here within 20 miles of each other

My son answered my question in case anyone is curious. Since he finished becc training he won't get a diploma until he finishes his 5 days of DC training, then he will go to Norfolk. I miss him so much and was hoping he might be able to visit us before heading to VA, but I guess we will just have to wait.

My son is graduating today from his "A" school but will have for more days of damage control before going to Norfolk. Does anyone know if they post pictures from the A school graduation on any of the navy websites? Thanks, Melinda for Whitewright,Texas
