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 Ladies !! Been awhile since I have checked in !! Welcome to all the newbies !!
My son has been with the WASP since Sept 2011. He just moved into another apartment complex last month. Lots more room, but not very happy with mgn/main. Took 3 days to get air conditioning fixed. Daughter in law and 5mo old grand daughter bout roasted in there. Their schedule is really messing with my visit schedule !! I drive a school bus, and had hoped to spend a good bit of time visiting. Looks like that would be great, after school goes back in session !! Not so much now !! :(
