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."

We heard from him last night. He made E-5, so we have a FC2 in the house! I wish he was in the house. He passed but didn't advance (PNA'd) twice, and had the highest grades, but the advancement rate for FC's was only 20%. They raised that a little, and it helped many to advance.

Hey Kathy, can't wait to see pictures and hear of your adventures. Let me know if you see my boy. He says he's a grown up man, but he's my little boy in my heart, and I'd love to hear from him. Hint hint. You know, he hangs around with his fellow FC's and the GM's are always trying to get him into trouble, LOL!!!!
Wow Linn, 3 wks in Newport. My brother that was in the Navy for 20 yrs lived in Providence and this time of year is snow snow snow.
Brrrr. Us too. Havn't seen ours for 15-16 months. We were hoping he'd be back in San Diego for more schooling, it was planned, but he has to get some waiver or some such.
