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."

Leslie - what groups are the P3 moms in? I am not a techie person and am having trouble finding my way here. Brandon just 'winged' in Corpus, it was amazing. He is awaiting orders in the next week or so. He got to do his Cross Country to home, so that was really cool, to see him landing at International and again at Kelly AFB. This has been such an adventure, I look forward to every telephone call. Thanks, R

Paymaster... thanks. I am just interested in what actually transpires - compared to what I have heard. How tough is it? What do they need when they return home? Anything to read about it?

Anyone a P-3 pilot mom? My son is on his way to Jacksonville and SERE sometime. Love any input on SERE and what to expect in Jacksonville!

BunkerBee and Chris...yes, Chris explained it the same way. He also described it as the scariest ride he'd ever taken.
Happy Easter, All. And god bless our children.

Diane, a friend of our who is a pilot said landing on a carrier is like coming off a freeway off ramp at 100 miles per hour and trying to park between two lines that look like toothpicks. The stuff our kids do. Whew. Happy Easter everyone.

BunkerBee: Thanks for the video ... AWESOME. My son's now been on the Stennis doing his quarrier quals (just 2 weeks ago for the last one). I am SO in AWE of everyone there that makes it possible and safe for my son to fly on/off the carrier. Never realized so much occurred in so little a space. My hat, heart, prayers and appreciation goes to all those brave, young sailors.

Loved the video. It is awesome how they manage to get all those aircraft on and off the carriers safely.

Hi,
An FYI regarding SERE - my son was hurt playing hockey and will not go to SERE before he starts P3 ground school this month- he will go after. So apparently, it's not quite set in stone that they go before. Thought that was interesting.

The average age of the deck hands is between 19 and 20. Contrary to popular believe that the members of younger generation have all gone to ****, we have some fantastic young people in the Navy and all branches of the military. This video should be shown to all high school students. Feel free to copy and paste and share with you other groups. BTW, that's my son driving the sub.
Happy Easter everyone.
