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."

do just type in that class info? I will give my son
your son's name so they can try and connect there
early. Thanks again, it's getting closer!!
Thanks for your quick reply. Not sure what my son has done so
far. He is still working fulltime so his time at night is limited. I hope
he is studying and memorizing, I know he has been working out.
I think he is ready to get started too and scared and all the emotions
we are feeling. I pray NOV graduation will happen and soon! It will be
a great celebration for all of us. I think once they make the decision to
join the Navy and OCS they are ready to go. This website and emails
will be vital for all of us as we await news from them. Best wishes to you all
and your son. My son's name is Enrique.
How are you all doing as it closes for our guys to leave? I can't believe
it is a week from this Saturday! I am focusing on the November graduation.
Hope to hear from you.
Thanks for the information on the site - I will look that up. Our son has been in 3 years now. He actually went to Wooster and graduated 4 years ago, worked at a large insurance company and then joined the Navy. He completed the Nuclear program last Aug. and has been "on hold" working in an office, waiting to hear about the officer school. He finally heard, but will be changing fields to oceanography/meteorology, so will need to go to another school. So he has been in 3 years in November. This will be an interesting journey, when he was in boot camp, this site was not up. So this is nice to get information, ask questions, and meet people who have been there, are there, or will be there!
My son also is in that class. Has your son been in the Navy long or is he just starting out? I see you are in Toledo. We are in Columbus.
