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."

Hi,

I live in Lakeland, Florida, its nice to meet you.

What is your sons job?

My son is an AMAA, his name is Landon Anderson , 137 , Lemoore California the Kestrils, he works on the F18s.

He is also fairly new to the Navy, he graduated PIR 8/5/11 went to C school in Pensacola and went to LeMoore, thinking he would go on to his A school to find out three days later he was being deployed. He seems to be enjoying his job.

I sure do miss him!

We should be checking in about 5pm. Then I think we'll be going to the Meet'nGreet. Hope to see you!

So, in my son's  last letter he told me that he's passed the PFA and the division won their 2nd academic flag (he's the recruit academic PO), flagged their 2nd test and drill inspection.  He said he'd been sick, but had requested to be fit full full duty, which they allowed (although they looked at him strangely:)

If he WAS ASMO, wouldn't they let him call home to say his PIR had changed?

Thank you...I am glad you enjoy them. I am actually not done! Had a bit of an interruption as DH came home from deployment! Our son is the Sailor. So I will continue on soon hopefully!

Glad you are halfway through!
