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."

My son just completeds PIR on June 3, 2011. He is gone to A School in SC. He doesn't have a phone yet so I'm not sure how to communicate with him. He is a Nuke and I am just wondering if there are any other Nuke families on here? I didn't know about this in time to meet up with the families the evening before graduation so I don't want to miss out on any more events.

Hi Renebo, I am very excited! He just came home for the weekend. He looks great! I am going to see him on July 4th weekend! Stay on base when you visit. It is so much easier for our sailors!

My son is in Pensacola for A school. He has been there for about a month already. We are able to communicate by phone now- so even less letters. I am having a hard time navigating this site- there seems to be so much!

Hey group! My sailor just began DC training at Great Lakes! PIR was amazing. He doesn't have a phone yet, so can anyone tell me how to write to a DC who is E3? I know his ship, but that's about all.
