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."

@poodlelover Love the San Francisco Bay Area ! My parents use to live in Discovery Bay on the delta we use to drive to Walnut Creek to get on the Bart. I was born and raised in a town outside of LA. I moved to Tx in 1995 so I have been here awhile and now my parents have joined me.

Hi Michelle. I didn't realize that those that leave around the same dates end up together. My daughter also goes to MEPS on the 17th and boot camp on the 18th. We are from Ohio. I'm glad to meet you and the other parents.

@mygirlsrock I don't know how they divide them in groups when there in the same class. I would think they divide them by the jobs but not sure . My son is going to be a hospital corpsman his school will be in San Antonio and then from there he will be going to North Carolina to train with the Marines and become a battlefield medic ( corpsman ) . The Marines use Navy Corpsman for there medics.
