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."

Hey everyone! 

 

   I just got the letter from RTC with Ashley's address and grad date (May 06,2011) Does anyone else have a future sailor on the same ship and division?

My hubby actually took his contacts with him, and I guess they let him keep them because they weren't in his box.  I, too, hope they go sooner then later.  I can't wait to get that call.  I cannot believe we only have 9 more days to go, its crazy.

Hello Everyone!

 

Eight more days!!!! I'm sure you all are as excited as I. Has anyone heard of the rules or know how long A-School is?

 

My oldest son is getting married in Nov and wants his brother (SR) to be the best-man. According to the recruiter our SR should have completed it by then but now our SR writes that he be wont be able to see us for long cause he is a Grad & Go but doesn't start till June??? Hoping that there is a misunderstanding.

DJMom, will your son stay in Great Lakes for A school? 

Hi DSmom,  No my SR is off to San Antonio, TX for A-School. I'm actually happy about that since it's a little closer to us in FL and we have family there.

 

His he going to HM school?
DJMom... Every recruit is told they will be leaving Sat. from GL.  They changed the policy in March! :(  I am hoping and praying that my SR doesn't get a Sat. flight out, but I am not banking on it!
Hi Jenn, I hope that you will be able to spend as much time as possible with your SR. Will your SR be close to where you live so that you can visit while in A-School?
We live in NY, her school will be in VA.. not too far.. about 10 hours.. do-able.  :)

My son is the Damage Control PO for 925 (at least he wrote he was a few weeks ago).  The DC PO is basically fireman, I think.  So, I'm sure our sons got to work, or put out fires, together this week!  lol  My son is going to SA for Corpsman school.

No mail today, hopefully tomorrow.

I wish I had news to share! My SR just does n.o.t. write. Literally, I got half a page! I think he thinks it's like emailing--a little blurb here, a little there! Jheesh! So, I rely on YOU guys :)

PS..thanks aveoamare!
