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."

Yes you can do this. My son is leaving tomorrow also. It is an emotional time for us moms. Just remember that your son is being very brave in joining the Navy so we need to draw from that (just a little) and show them that we can be brave also. Good luck! I hope to meet you at PIR.

Lane left this morning as well. I want him to come back home...but that's for me, not for him. It's a little comforting knowing I'm not the only one. Praying for you.

She sound distressed and confused.. very different then how she sounded while waiting at the USO at O'Hare Airport waiting for the other shippers to arrive.... Now i have to wait for the dreaded "box" to arrive.... does anyone know the graduation date as of yet? Thanks for listening... like others said.... it is a bit comforting to know i am not the only one feeling this way.. xoxo
