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."

Sailormom - My son called about 3:15 pm CST!!! He's a Sailor!! He sounded so grown up, and positive! But, he said they were so tired...and he was coughing a lot (still has a cold). I ask him if everyone in his Division passed; and he said he thought so. I sure hope so!!! :) So excited,and can't wait to meet everyone! You ladies have been so wonderful to talk to, and share all of my thoughts and fears with. Have you or Hurleygirl heard anything?

I'm a proud momma of a Sailor now. Got the call about 3:25 Central Time. So proud of my son and all the new Sailors. He told me he would be in the PIR and graduating but he is on a Medical Hold and does not know when he will ship out. He is a Nuke which has higher requirements on medical. He has to check into his new housing be 1300 hours on Friday and does not know if he will have anymore leave over the weekend. I hate the not knowing and thought that would be over today, but no.
