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."

That is how I read it too abdill778. Pretty kool for those on board the day she toured the boat. Congrats to those who advanced! We all have to be proud of our sailors for what they do. Feeling sort of sentimental this weekend!

Morning ladies! I will see if I can find that article - would like to read it. I have had about 3 or 4 emails from my son. He too made his rank up to Petty Officer 3rd class. Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Janice - Where at in Missouri? I am originally from Missouri - grew up in Neosho, Mo (South of Joplin) I graduated from college in Springfield, MO - at SMS or now Missouri State Univ. Brandon does have his camera with him - and it is also a video camera.

Coo! Thanks Gail for the info. I have found some Military resources supplies on line that I ordered alot from - and the Navy Scrapbook. I'll have to check out that group.
-

Gail, I'm a scrapbooker too, so far my son has been good to give his camera to someone to snap a picture for me - and he is great to keep on of his orders, papers, etc... for me. I'm like you I HATE to miss anything in person that is a milestone in my kids lives.

Janice - we are from Kansas - so not my son - I think he told me his sea dad is from TN (?) is like 21 and married. My son is 22, just a good ole' country boy from Kansas. He said he is called "Dorothy" on the boat (for obvious reason... being from KS). Brandon's goal is to come back from this trip with his dolphins

Hi Jancie! Thanks for the welcome. I'm sure my son does know your son - because yes he is working on his dolphins and is crankin right now.

Hi Gail - a TM is a Torpedo Mate - Machinist Mate. Thanks for the Welcome

Thanks for the Welcome and the reminder. I'm pretty new to the military life - so I appreciate the hints and tips to help to deal with everything. My son has been in for only 10 months.

Hi Everyone - My name is Tammy and I am new to this group. My son is a newbie on the Alexandria - he is a TM just finished school in March - so this is his first assignment. Thought this group might help me figure things out.
