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, first time replying on this site. My son is in Pensacola, heading to Corpus next week for Primary. Wants to fly Helos. He's trying to find a house to rent with a couple of buddies, but the process hasn't been too easy. Any thoughts or suggestions to pass along?

Hi UNM Sean's mom,
My son has been in Primary at Corpus Christi since late May. If you have any questions I would be happy to try to answer them. Best wishes to your son. Nancy -

UNM Seans' mom - congratulations! my son has been in Corpus since early summer. We also live in Texas but have not seen him as often as we expected. Housing didnt seem to be a problem for him. And the base and local police are very aggressive in schooling them on the problems with gangs in the area. I really appreciated that. The frustrating thing is the system of maintaining the planes. Most of he flights get cancelled because there is not a plane ready or the plane is not safe. Frustrating for him and it slows down the whole process. Would be happy to answer any questions.

Hi Rockmom, I've heard almost half the pilots are selected for Helos so your son has a good chance to get what he wants. I wish him well, Nancy

Josh is at Corpus Christi. He starts classes September 23rd. He's coming home next week for a few days before class. Miss him so much, just can't wait to see him.

My son has been in CC since the end of May also. There weren't many places for rent when he was looking. He did find a nice place on the island.

Yes - i think there are several of us. Sounds like things are going well there except there are not enough planes for them to get their flight time in. it is really dragging out.
