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."

Where is your new sailor going after PIR?

Thought it would be great to learn where everybody's sailor is heading to after PIR. This can be a great way to open new conversations at the M&G and also make new friends that will be going through the same experience that you will be for the upcoming months.

My son will be flying out on Tuesday, 2/1 to Goose Creek, South Carolina for Navy Nuclear Power Technical School to become a Machinist Mate. He will have A-school and Power School school there and then take Prototype either in GC or in Ballston Spa, NY prior to joining the fleet.

ET at Goose Creek or Charleston, SC. He leaves Saturday morning after Graduation. Its only about 109 miles from home. A nice day trip. My husband and I actually drove up last year in the spring just to walk across the bridge.

No way! My daughter's ex-boyfriend is HC and went on to San Diego to train with the marines reconnaissance team as well, wanted to be in the action. He loved it, and just arrived in Okinawa, Japan 2 weeks ago for a 2 year deploy! Good luck to you and your husband! You never know, you may be living in Japan this year! :)
