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 hope so too. I don't know how many guys are on the Ship, but it makes me happy to think that they know each other and are working together as part of the team. Much the same way as we are supporting each other on this website:) Funny, I would have gone to boot camp if they would have let me. I guess it's a good thing they don't LOL.

Hi Holli,
Though I'm not a mother, my soon-to-be fiance is in Div 307, and he will be staying in Great Lakes for A-School.

Can anyone tell me the significance or story behind the Navy Recruit Training Command Challenge Coin? I ordered one for a PIR gift, but want to understand the meaning behind the coin. Thanks much:)

Hi Holli and Gregsmom!! How are you today? Holli, my son is Brett. He's going to be going to Groton, CT for A school. He's going to be working with computers and electronics on submarines. I'm not sure how many are on the ship, but my son says he's made great friends and they are helping each other. Sounds like good teamwork so far.

Brett is 18, too. He's my first one to leave home and we are like best friends. It has been hard getting used to him not being here.
