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."

Does anyone have a son that is a rider on the Alaska to get their qualifications?
-

Mine is going to be a rider on another sub to get his qualifications, I was hoping he would be on land for a while. This is all new to me, and is going to be hard to get use too. I heard that emails are not as frequent on a Boomer is that right?

I'm sure you already got the answer and I messaged you but he will stay on base or go on a boat before they go up there and than get a place in Portsmouth VA!
