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."

Hi! I didnt know SA had a group! Im Peggy and my son is in Corpus Christie doing flight training. He went through OCS from April 2 to May 24th and then spent a few months in Pensacola getting his primary pilot's license. I know Im probably in a little different situation than the boot camp moms, but I would love to get to know the group!!

If you go to my page and look at my groups or search San Antonio moms you will be able to find the San Antonio Moms group. We just started it and only have about 15 members but everyone has been so helpful.

My daughter Mari left yesterday, May 16, 2012. :( Find myself having a much harder time than I thought. I'm so very happy for and proud of her but my heart still hurts. I know she'll do great so I just need to stay positive and be supportive. Can't wait to receive my first correspondence from her!
