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."

your son would have to put you on the email list and then they will email you ship information for families:)  HSTFRG_CommLiaison@HSTruman.Net this is the email to request to be put on the list

As this website helped so much during Basic Training, I now return to it as the nerves are getting the best of me again as I watch the calendar clock tick tock away.  So I do remember during Basic that all of the members of the group commented when they got the specifics on graduation. As in "we got the email".  Will everyone in this group be doing the same?  I spoke VERY briefly with my daughter yesterday and she said that what's done on their end is done and everything is now out of her hands.  Just wondering if now I can once again rely on everyone out here for a progress and update of sorts?

3 cuppas !! and ima doin my happy dance!!!

There is a meet and greet the day before from 4pm-7pm

Were is the meet and greet kevin?
