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."

I stole this idea from PIR 12/22/10 because I thought it was a good idea :)

List where your child/husband/bf/gf will attend A school and what their rate (job) will be. Spell it out so some of us that aren't up on all of the Navy lingo will understand what it stands for. E.g. - IT is Information Systems Technology.

Remember to only list your loved ones initials, not their full name for security reasons.

D will attend A school in Pensacola, actually Corry Station. His rate is AFT/IT which stands for Advanced Field Technology/Information Systems Technology. Whew, thats a mouth-full:) So basically D will be a Computer Geek :)
My daughter will attend A school in Great Lakes, Il. Her rate is AE/CF Advanced Electronics Computer Field.
A will attend A school in Pensacola, FL. His rate is an AE, which is an Aviation Electronics Computer Technician or Electrician.
What a coincidence my son is on the same boat (ship lol). He is also going to Pensacola and I think he is the exact same rate. And they are both from NM. This is so wild. I wonder they know each other because if they don't maybe they should. Are you bringing your boy home for Christmas? Maybe we can plan for them to fly from Alb to Pensacola together and share a cab or something to get to base. Let me know....
R will attend school in Pensacola, Florida. His rate is AM/aviation structural mechanic.
H will attend A school in Pensacola. Her rate in CTR which is Cryptologic Technician-collection
My son will attend A School in Pensacola and his rating will be CTR which is cryptologic technician collections.
Cool Kathy and Heidi's mom - Your kids are going to have the same job. But you might have already known this and I am slow :) Susan
