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 really wanted my son to do that but he chose AO because he got a better bonus and choice of duty location. It seemed like the perfect thing for him to do since he was the captain of the swim team but what's the Mom know, LOL

I asked my SR if he wanted to be a Navy Seal. The response I got was "No way! Those people are just not right in the head!" I had to laugh!

My SR originally wanted to do SAR (search and rescue) but since he wear corrective lens (contacts) he could go is at SAR but could later if he gets is eyes corrected. So his next choice was AT.

My son will be going to A school in Pensacola. Not sure yet if he will wil AE or AT. He originally signed a contact as Rescue Swimmer but then changed his mind. He loves to swim and was Captain of his high swim team also but wanted to train in a job that he could continue once out of the Navy. He didn't feel that was something he would want as a career choice in the civilian world. I'm proud of him no matter what job he does.
