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."

auto insurance

Posted on June 14, 2010 at 5:14pm 15 Comments

anyone else finding this....... My insurance agent tells me, that unless my18 year old daughter relenquishes her NC driver license, she has to covered under our auto insuance policy even tho she is shipping out 7/13 and won't be residing in our home or driving our car. so what has anyone else had happen in this regard. I find it silly to pay double the insurance on someone not living in the home basically for the next 6 years.

Hilary. This is the 2nd time going through this for me. My son joined 6 years ago. That was much worse because he was not a good communicator. He is stationed in CT now and is doing great, married, twin daughters and another on the way. Actually buying a house there with settlement next week.
Hilary is my baby and I am very happy in her decision. I knew college was not for her, but had to let her figure that out on her own, which she did after her first year. At least with the Navy she will have and enriched and successful future.
I have a middle daughter who is in college, and around a lot so I do not have empty nest yet, but it is coming quickly, she is looking for apartments today with her boyfriend. Ahhhh

Has your daughter found out when she is to leave for A school. My son has not as of right now. Don't know if he'll be a Grab N' Go or if he'll be at RTC for a while. Will you be attending the Wednesday night get together at the hotel? If so I would love to meet you....Susan
