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."

A little about me:
He is our one and only, so proud of him. I home schooled for four years. Quit my job as an instructor when he was two to stay home with him. Best decision I ever made. Worked part time as he got older. I have been a private music teacher for over twenty-five years. My husband is a wonderful godly man, who loves to play golf.
I am here to support my
Son/Daughter
Stage of (Sailor’s) Navy career?
Enlisted
When I heard “Navy,” I...
Was proud and encouraged it
The Navy offers opportunities that...
I loved the Navy's values and they emphasis being a team player. I love the motto "A Global Force for Good". We know several friends who had Navy careers. One was an Officer and he was the best business man I ever worked for. The other goes to our church and he has been encouraging me about our son. And a close friend's son-in-law was a Navy Seal.
Our Navy experience so far...
It was positive and maturing. Our relationship has grown stronger.

Hi CDMom...welcome 'aboard' !

I would definitely have him apply for his passport.  It is a lot easier to do it before he leaves for Japan.  My daugter has hers and got it before she left and has used it/needed it for travel.  It's not that big of a deal to get it.  You can get the forms on line and a passport pic at some post offices when you go apply or at places like CVS, etc.  Even if it comes after he leaves, you can send it to him in a goodie box.

Good, I'm glad it's been easier for you all. I know it was a relief for me to be able to talk to my husband on a regular basis too :) Corpsman School is tough; they get a lot in those 12 weeks, but he'll be ready for the hospital or FMTB afterwards. Best of luck to your son!

Oh yes, the other questions.  He had been in since May, but his leave date was changed to September.  PIR was 11/4/11.  Attends A school in FL.

You're quite welcome and thank you for the compliment.  My son did get to come home for leave, just in time for Christmas.  Such a good thing to see him so determined and forthright about his decision to join.  Took my breath away seeing him come down to baggage claim.  My co-workers (who've known him since he was a little guy) were awestruck.  BEST CHRISTMAS EVER!!

We got a letter today. They have finished the gas chamber and their PFA. The countdown begins. Not sure when battlestations is hopefully we find out tomorrow. We are excited to see her for Christmas. Spent yesterday grocery shopping and today cooking and baking.

Seems like forever since we saw her can't wait, then only 2 weeks till graduation.

Hope you get some contact with your son tomorrow.
