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."

My Son.....
first let me tell you my son has worked @ CEC since he was 16yo he is now 19 and has had several awards from the company,so here's what makes me angry.......
my son gave his notice over a month ago letting them know he had enlisted in the US Navy and his last day of work would be April 18,2010 he is scheduled to work all weekend and all day Easter Sunday (our last Easter all together) so next weeks schedule is posted and my son who has since he was 16 yo worked between 30 and 40 hour weeks is now on the last schedule for 3 hours total,when he asked why this was he was told so other employees could have a chance to get in hours since hes quitting.....
He is not just QUITTING.... he joined the Navy, he is not just going to work for Mc Donald or a "cool job" @ the mall, He made a very selfless decision to join the military and it makes me so angry that after all his hard work and how loyal he has been to this company they would just disregard him as if none of it matters.
I don't want to sound like I'm whining but he is very hurt by this and he knows he has his whole life ahead of him and he is so excited about leaving for basic training but it just makes me mad that that's how they treated him and this is the THANKS he gets.

I think what you are seeing is the modern treatment of employees by management as disposable. Once upon a time, companies valued their customers AND good employees. Now it's the almighty buck. I am sorry your son has been treated this way. He could just decline to work Sunday. I did that as a college student. Is it going to break him if he just walks away now?

My son was also treated poorly at the job he was working at when he gave notice. But there are people out there who are truely appreciative. When people see my t-shirts or the bumper sticker on my car they say they are very grateful to him for all he does, for being in the military to defend his fellow Americans.

I am crossing off CHUCK E.CHEESE from my list of restaurants. Since I haven't been there for 15 years, it'll be easy. Your son sounds like a terrific young man. Congratulations. I just know that the Navy will help him realize his full potential. Good luck. Here are some links to groups and blogs that will help you get adjusted.
