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, my son leaves for boot camp on July 10th. I was wondering if you could tell me how your child feels about being a HT and what his job entails.

I took it for granted he was on Landons ship too.

He is on USS Abraham Lincoln, They left dec 5 this is his first deployment.

I know all about the pins and needles. And Im really not trying to watch the news these days, this is a pretty crazy world we live in right now.

I keep getting told that the Navy is one of the safest services for the guys trying to believe it trust me.

I don't like surprises when I travel, so I would make all arrangements (hotel, shuttle, car rental, whatever) ahead of time.  I put everything in a folder and have it in my carry on bag with boarding pass and itinerary.

Bobbie - I just saw your post on Boot Camp Mom's group.  You may send him envelopes with stamps on them if you wish.  He can fill out the address info as needed.  Also, if you don't already know this, you can send him a book of 20 stamps in a letter.  Anything flat can go in a letter, including Band-Aids!  He may need them for all the running and marching they'll be doing!  I sent Band-Aids in a regular letter - I sent bigger sizes too.  Mainly the 1x3 inch is good, but a few bigger ones may be good.  If he doesn't use them, he might give them to another recruit is in need!

My son PIR'd 5/13 from BC and is in Goose Creek, South Carolina.  BC seems like ages ago, but I still visit other groups.

Good Luck and God's Peace to you!
