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."

Anyone leaving for BC October 2014 yet?
My son just got his date to leave for BC in October 2014. Haven't seen any posts since 2013 on this board. Looking for others that are finding there way here with same dates?

My son leaves Oct 1 too. We just dropped our "other middle child", my only daughter (we have four) off for freshman year on Saturday. Not quite sure how I will make it through the fall, but trying to be brave! We Mom's are tough stuff - we can do it together:)

Joje - yes I know we are tough and can get thru this together. He is my one and only. I am so proud of him yet so nervous. He will be 24 when he leaves so older than most I think. I am not on Facebook or Twitter so I'm not sure at all how to do all this yet but need somewhere to not only get support but help support others going thru the same thing.

My son just had his date moved from the 27th to the 21st. I am really happy about that because now he will definitely have PIR before Christmas week. :)

My son ships out 10/21 or 10/22 from Hayward, CA. Although, all my boys are in the military and myself being an Army veteran, it's gonna be very hard for me to see him leave!! He's my baby!!

Hi My son leaves October 8, 2014..trying to get all the ducks in a row. Did you go to an attorney for your POA?
Hope to keep hearing from others for support. Thanks

Most future Sailors don't need a POA, but for those who do, the ones available online are sufficient to take care of the need in most cases and can be customized to address the needs of the future Sailor.
