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."

The mailman was good to me today..Got the much awaited letter from Zach.  He said he heard he might be going to Texas for his A school instead of staying in Great Lakes.  He said he is sure he will be passing his PT so now its just studying and marching....he is missing his free time a lot...but is anxious to see us in a few weeks...and asked us to send pictures of his car and the house etc...LOL...someone is getting home sick....Glad to hear from him...and he is still the same old Zach

CorpsmansGirl08,

 

Yes that is his plan...he was told he could request to be reconsidered for the Nuke program after 4 weeks...he passed all the tests for that but when they looked at his school record they saw that he basically blew off his senior year and only did enough to pass...I guess he thought he was smarter then MOM and Dad and could slide by and he paid the price...of course he was kicking himself for not applying himself like we warned him at the time but then he was not thinking Navy....yes he regretted it very much.  I haven't heard anything different so I think its a corpsman he will go....Yes Zach did say that he heard Texas...so I wonder if he will still be a Grad and Go....I would like to spend more then a few hours with him after graduations...but it will be what it is....Miss him so much....maybe they know each other or get to know each other....my son is not one to share many details...LOL...never was never will be....
