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."

Hi Toni (T's Mom) is your daughters last name Grey or Gray?? They call each other by their last name still and that is how I know them. What is your daughters name so I can ask mine if she knows her. I just got a few emails this week from my daughter. She is known by Smith.

Hi I am Traci, my daughter will be joining USS Howard in October also she is in A school right now. She just graduated bootcamp Friday 8-27 and we just started hearing from her again. I am nervous about sea duty for her but she is all excited so I have to put on that happy face. So we are both new to this group. Hopefully the girls will be friends. I'll be glad to talk anytime you want.

Yes she stays in Great Lakes and will attend SCC or CSS she is undesignated but she got orders to report to the Howard so I am assuming she will still go to that school and then to San Diego.

-My recruit graduates tomorrow PIR 8-27-10. She got her orders to DDG83 Howard in San Diego. San Diego is a great duty location. What can I expect? Her job is SeaPac. I am excited to hear about sea life.
