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."

Donna it may be his venture but we are all along for the ride!! LOL Unfornately for me, I live smack dab in the middle of the country, so no matter where he ended up he wouldnt be close to me. He loves San Diego and all our family is in California, so like you, when we go to see him, we will see my parents and other family and friends!

Any Moms in here with Sailors stationed in Norfolk and are in port right now? Some of us Navy Moms are meeting in Norfolk on March 29th and we'd like to take some Sailors to dinner.....

Peggy, I wish my son was only 8 hours away!! That is reall awesome.

Peggy: Welcome! I think you and I are going to be in a few groups together with both of our sons being STG's and assigned to destroyer's!!
You must be so proud of your son for fantastic class placement. All that hard work paid off and he'll be as close to you as he can get! And that's a good thing...lol

All the recruiters here in Tucson pring their own fliers (that I made)to pass out to ALL parents. And they also have ordered business cards for me to use. :)

Marcia, it would be good for other recruits if you talk to your sons recruiters office to make sure they know about the site. I made fliers for my son's recruiters office to hand out to the parents.

Joline, as Melissa wrote, they are only out for 6 to 8 months at a time, they spend a lot of time in port. Tell your son, not to worry, my son loves being a sonar tech, it will be OK.

I've been on this site for a year now and believe me, when my son left for boot camp, I knew next to nothing. I'm surprised to hear that your son's recruiter did not mention this site to you. The Navy is working on getting the recruiters to share this info with parents as this site is sponsored/paid for by the Navy. :)
