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."

Yes, our first Grandson. My husband & I have helped my daughter raise him and his brother. He used to call or show up at our house every night. I really miss those calls. Yes PIR will make this hell worth the wait! Can't wait!

Hello ALL...My son will be going to Pensacola, Florida for A-School. Do they have anything @ this base for these NEW Sailors during Thanksgiving? I am so worried about my son being thousands of miles away from home with NO family and spending Thanksgiving all alone (no family) around! Just concern. Wish I had some family in Florida! Thanks!

Our phone rang at 5:30 am...rang twice and stopped (again). I'm assuming it's our SR. Did anyone else from Div 013 get a call? I can't wait until I can finally talk to him. It seems like something keeps him from calling us overseas. :( I'm hoping he called his g'parents, so they can let us know what he has to say.

@808IslandMom... I've been wondering the same thing about holidays, since we are too far away to do anything for him. I don't know that he will look for something to do on his own.

Hi hawaiimom! Well hopefully our SRs are going for the same MOS! Are you going to PIR? Are you going to Sarge's M & G?
Is your SR 1st to go into the service? -

Whoo hoo! Just got a letter and my son said he made some good friends and 2 of them will be going with him to A-School. Looking for the moms of SR's with initials: CS & QE and one with the last name initial W. I was so stoked to see this written in his letter. So nice to see positive feelings! God Bless our SR's and God Bless all our men & women in uniform!
