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."

It depends on their rating or job in the Navy. My son will be going to Groton, Connecticut for sub school and A school for machinist mate. All the guys going to submarine service will be in Groton.

Vikingmom - where the SRs go for A school after PIR is dependent upon their "job". My son is going into intelligence, and the A school, and C school, are both in Dam Neck VA.

I got my first real letter today. It about broke my heart it started off "hope everything continues to go well at home. Miss every single one of you!!!" Yep. That brought on the tears. Went On to talk about having his wisdom teeth out and how he has a test this week and he ghastly to study for them.
He answered some of my questions that I had gotten from that hints on the website. His favorite food there is yogurt with berries and the one he misses the most from home is our popcorn. -

Glad you got your letter and things seem to be going well. We are almost halfway through

Vikingmom - getting the letter from your SR had to be wonderful! I can imagine the bittersweetness of it, but I'm sure it made your day anyway. I'm still waiting for mine, it just takes forever for mail in New York!, hopefully, tomorrow!
