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 there - it looks like someone found you a cake place, but I found another one in an old nuke posting too:  it's bakemeawish.com.  Someone posted that they used them a few years back and had no problems....hopefully between the 2 you will find one that will work!  Let us know how it works out :)

Hi proudmom - thanks for friending me!  My son finished A school on 4/19 and then was on T-Track for 10 weeks.  He started Power school on 7/1 (short week) and that graduation is supposed to be on 12/13/13.  Have they given your son any idea when his power school might start?  That is so nice that your son will be home for 10 days! Enjoy your time with him!

Hi proudmom63, your son is a nuke and in A school in Charleston now, right?  And I think his PIR was 4/5/13.  Is all that right?

My son is a nuke and his PIR is 5/31/13.  I can't wait !!!!  I have hotel reservations.  I have got to get airplane tickets.  I need to checkout Southwest.
