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! My son's PIR date is October 9th and then he will be heading to San Antonio for MA A school. I pray everyday that he and his fellow SRs are healthy and can continue on this journey as planned.

Morning,
My SR PIR is March 13, 2020 and needless to say I'm VERY DISAPPOINTED that her brother and I can't be there to witness it. I understand the decision but I'm still not happy. She will be going to San Antonio for A school and of course not having the opportunity to give her "stuff" at the O'hare airport I'm putting a box together to overnight. Please share with me any recent comments about sending packages to San Antonio. What service has had the most success (USPS, FedEx or UPS).
Thank you and I look forward to your comments.

Do the sailors packup & leave right after MA graduation? Some comments here say Yes, but my son thinks he’ll need to stay that Friday night on base & is able to leave, fly home, on Saturday. ??

My son just arrived in SA for A-School! Wondering how long he’ll have to wait for a Liberty weekend. Does anyone know if they’ll have Thanksgiving off? Wondering if that’d be a good time to visit.
