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."

Welcome, Gardenia! Do you know where your son will be stationed? Mine is in Hawaii, has been there since June, 2015. Since going these, we have seen him once, he has met a girl and married her. Getting set for his first deployment. He is on a fast attack. What kind of ship is your son looking for?

Hello, I just joined the group.
My son is a mm and done with school.
He is just waiting for his orders.
He graduated Bess on April 29,2016.
Is there anyone else?

Hello Subermama! Our son also went to
Groton for BESS and A school. I think he had to wait about 2 weeks to start BESS ( waiting for more sailors to arrive). He was in Groton from Sept.2015 until early Feb 2016. His A school graduation was cancelled due to a snowstorm so he just got his certificate and a handshake. He is currently stationed at Kings Bay. I hope this info helps! WELCOME!

Hello All! I'm new here! My SAILOR just passed BS21 & has PIR on 06/03/16 from GL, IL. I understand that his next stop as of 06/04/16 will be New Groton to become a MM. He said he knows of 3 others in BC with him now destined to come to same place with him :). Can anyone of you tell me if you have loved ones waiting for 1st classes to start? And/or what their wait time might be once there? Much appreciated any advice/info at all
