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."

I would like to extend my gratitude to both your husband and you for your service. I understand your reservations regarding his information. I am in Long Island NY and am heading down to Fort Lee for the graduation on Friday. My best guess is some sailors going to duty stations within the US seem to be getting orders relatively quickly after graduation. It also seems based on the information posted that sailors with orders overseas seem to be placed on hold. I can relate to your husbands story as I to was in the Marine Corps and a few of the Marines I served with have stayed in touch for the last 30 years. We have helped each other like a family through many tough times. each one is like family to my 6 children. Unfortunately there are a few sailors in the CS class with Texas drawls. I am originally from Tennessee. Let me know if I can be of service to your sailor when I go down there. Maybe I can at least give him a lift home even if at this point it does not look like I will be able to bring my son home. I aam going to try and spend a day or two with him to at least give him a break from the base.
I no longer live in Farmington, but I use that zip to increase PERSEC.
We don't have MOS in the Navy, that's for Army, Marines, and Coast Guard. The Navy has ratings. Since he has finished "A" School, it will be a while before he can attempt to cross rate into EOD. He would have to meet very strict standards for that since it is a special ops rating. The time that the ship is in dry dock is actually good time for him. Time at sea is not as good as time on shor.
