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."

Thinking about our guys getting their photos taken this week. I don't think you'd find a group of finer looking, more clean-cut guys anywhere. I'm eager to see my handsome boy's face in a photo memorializing this chapter of his life. And in 4 1/2 weeks I'll be able to plant a kiss on that face! (Don't tell him I said that :-)

Hi Cor,
He is going SWCCK, I believe he is going to Cali. I read somewhere that whoever is going to school outside of IL will be leaving Sat very early in the am. Do you know anything about this?? Wondering if I should book til Sunday, just in case it changes...

My husband is also going SWCC. I booked until Sunday morning because I was under the impression that they flew out on Saturday. Please let me know if you hear otherwise for SWCCs so that I can look into changing my flight home! Thanks! :)
