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."

Is there a way for me to find out? Maybe they will be back before he has to report in.

Is the squadron at the base, or on the ship? My son comes home friday I think, then reports to the base in two weeks. We are only a half hour away from it. I read that if the squadron is on deployment he will be sent to it, is that true?

Hey, if any of you are on FB, the ship site posted a short video of our guys during their quals....its really cool to watch!

Thanks for the heads up Barbara! That would be pretty neat if your son was his instructor, he'd get a dedicated student, he just sent me a text this morning and said he got 100 on his exam today, now I'm waiting to hear how his room inspection went. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that he stays at the top of his class, and graduates that way, that was his goal from day one. Your son must be doing really well to be an instructor, you must be very proud.

I am SO glad this site is is still active, I was worried, hopefully other mothers will arrive, since lots of sailors are going to Lemoore.

Barbara, Laura, so glad to meet you! My son did tell me he would be bringing home sailors home for some home cooked meals, your sons will be welcome, Lemoore is thirty minutes away! Barbara, so there is C school there? My son said he heard they will deplore in Jan, is that true? I worry cause I see the news about asia. Hear anything? He said he didn't even know about the Washington in Korea, I thought that was strange.

He's a Florida guy, not fond of Lemoore, no beaches nearby! He is an AT, doing well in his career and likes his job, so that part is good.

Hi Laura, He is AE but hopeing that could change, he is at the top of his class and trying really hard to stay there. What is your sons rate? Does he like it there?
