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."

Hello again...I am not on here very much either, so missed your message.  It would have been fun to meet...so sorry it didn't happen!  Maybe somewhere down the road.  My son ended up NOT leaving for Groton, as his nut allergies needed to be tested.  Never dreamt that it could keep him from serving on a sub!  He is in the holding unit at GL, waiting for determination/orders.  At least he is being kept busy...working & taking a needed class.  It was sooooo good to see him, and soooo hard to once again say goodbye!  How is your son adapting to Groton?  That will be a whole new experience for us all.  Hope to hear back from you soon...take care!

Pauls Mom- I called the recruiter for her address. I received her address in less than a week but it's going to take at least that long, but try the recruiter, your son will send you a printed letter with his address and graduation info. on it, that took just over a week for it to come so it was easier to call the recruiter and not worry.
