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."

They probably do! And add fabric softener!! Is it as funny to you as it is to me for your sr to be in charge of laundry? We couldn't find the floor in his room or bathroom when he lived at home.

Hi...my son will turn 21 at A school. He is going to school for HT in GL. My son didn't really know what he wanted to do after high school. We live in Oregon and he went to a trade school and became a personal trainer but he really didn't like the gym life. He started looking into the Navy, he has always wanted to serve his country but didn't really know what to do so he went to the recruiting office and now we are a Navy family!

My son is also supposed to stay at GL for A school. His job is OS.

Definitely! And Sarge's meet and greet on Thursday night.

Tawnie, My son is going to GL for HT too. I'm sure they will get to know each other well. My son is 19, he also didn't know what he wanted to do. He went to College for 1 semester and decided college just wasn't for him. And here we are as well. Welcome!!

Thanks so much for sharing some of the things your SRs wrote last week! I was starving for info from our son and your notes hit the spot. I'm looking forward to hearing about the joke too. We finally got to read a letter from him on Saturday and I was really happy to hear him sounding good. He said everyone's about ready to be done since the end is in sight. He said some SR's who are "undesignated sailors" and not going to A school already have orders. That makes sense to me, but he also said one AO (Aviation Ordnance) that just PIRed and is headed to A school said she already has orders. Is that possible?

Yay for letters! All of ours have come on Thursdays. I would have thought he might have chosen sleeping in too. I would have!!
