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! Yes,  I'm hanging in there! "The box" arrived on Friday.  I had reminded him so many times to write a little note and tuck it in a pocket or a shoe...but when I went through the box there wasn't a note anywhere! :(  But then I noticed that he had written a note to us on the inside flap of the box! ha ha  That's my boy!

How are you doing?

Hi Amy!  I'm still trying to figure this site out! ha ha  How are you doing?  Daniel leaves Aug. 6th-we drop him off in Seattle at 6am.  :(  So I'll be leaning on you for what to expect!

Amy, I will be going through what you are in about 10 days when my son leaves. I'm a wreck already and he hasn't even left! I'll be praying for you!

My boy leaves in ten days to boot camp and I'm not ready. I've been a emotional wreck.im having a hard time knowing i can't just call anytime. He's never been gone more than a week. Also him not becoming able to choose where he'll be. Is a guessing game. Ugh my nerves
