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."

What is an EO? DJ will be training to be a Missile Tech on a Submarine in Groton CT
-

Nice! Wow the things he will see and do. It is awesome when a dream becomes reality.
We always knew DJ would join the service...just didn't know which branch or when. Do you have your travel arrangements yet?
-

Wow, I didn't think about traffic. We live in Washington State. We fly into Milwaukee WI and rent a car. Our hotel is about 10 miles from RTC. A shuttle
would be nice. I am nervous about the weather, we have had our first big snow of the season already. How about Wyoming, will your cross many mountain passes? -

My son will be leaving directly for Submarine School in Groton CT. We spoke to him Sunday, he sounds Happy and Healthy!
He seems to enjoy the challenges put before him. Has anyone else heard any good news?

I am not very good at this site. I was very happy you joined in a conversation with me. When is the meet and greet? I will check it out with the family. Thank you for the heads up about the shuttle. Have you had any phone calls? We had a letter today I am savoring each one. He even writes to some of the church ladies. I am so proud of him. How long are you planning to stay? We are staying the weekend, even though DJ is leaving Sat for Groton.
