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."

Prayers to you and your future sailor! I was standing where you are exactly one week ago today. Every picture that was takien I’m crying, but it’s ok because they were tears of joy, excitement for him and a little worry. You will make it through as will your daughter. Continued prayers for you all

Keep your phone near you. My son called from both airports and when he was ready to get on the bus. Then of course the "i"m here call was quick noisy and very late. We knew how fast that call is and it is scripted- I just spoke over him and said love you proud of you. I think he was flustered but we had to get that in one last time.

My son shipped out and made it to BC on April 17th...I know how you feel and am a basket case too. I cried when I got the call..he sounded like a robot and stressed. I hope to find comfort with fellow moms.

I got my “I’m here” call at 12:56am this morning. I could here them yelling in the background but just let her talk. I did squeeze in a “your dad and I love you” and she said I love you too then hung up. I cried myself back to sleep. I know it will get easier, but right now I can’t stop crying and feel lost. Prayers for your SR also. We’re in this together!
