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."

Oh it's nice he came from a Navy family, they will be good support for your daughter.
She won't have to wait until he classes up to move to GL but he does need to do his live ashore package which can take 2 to 4 weeks. If she looks at the wives club thread there is alot of conversation about that package and housing in GL in general.

Hi Lonna, wanted to welcome you to the AECF group. Is your SIL going to be an ET or FC when he graduates? Our son is an FC and has been in for about 2.5 years already! Has your daughter joined the group as well? We do have a wives club thread in the group that she maybe interested in reading thru, is she moving up to GL to join her hubby? Our group is an active and supportive one - stop by often!
