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."

Hi Christy - my son just passed his A+ too, but is only a couple of days into the next class.  He's loving Pensacola.

My husband seems to be doing okay in pensacola. He is on a PT hold for now because he hasn't passed his PFA, so he has 10 days to pass. He is also going to be on back log for school for a month (hopefully not much longer). Right now he is in phase 1, so he can only have his cell phone and Ipod. He's jealous that all of his buddies got TV's and playstations already. He's hoping to go to phase 2 next week so he can have his laptop.

How is your son doing? Hope everything is going well with him. He gave my husband his phone number to stay in touch, but my husband couldn't read some of the numbers. He was wondering if he could get the number, or that I can give you my husband's number to pass on. I know my husband hung out with some friends this last weekend and I forgot to ask if he hung out with your son. I have a message to him asking if he got his number yet. Just let me know

It is not too late to get ribbons, especially if you can pay with PayPal or Western Union. You can send me an email on this site or send one to my regular email: uniquememorymakers@yahoo.com

And to your friend's comment below, my daughter is at NAS Oceana in VA Beach as well. She is an AO.

Hi Christy, My son's PIR was back in January.  He's now stationed in Virginia Beach, VA at NAS Oceana. I live in Moore.  I'm trying to get used to the empty nest too. My sailor left home last November and my youngest son graduated high school in May. Isn't it strange coming home to an empty house?  Hope you're having a great time at PIR.
