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 bussinbier. I'm waiting for that call too! When my son called after he arrived at GL he said he would be calling again in 3 weeks. May 17 will be the 3 week mark for him. I'm getting very anxious. I'll be praying for your son. Hang in there.

Bussinbier, that's so encouraging that your son may be calling any day now. I'm jealous :0). My son is also 19. He'll be in Fire Control on a sub. Thank you for starting this group. We'll be able to share our thoughts, joys and fears and not feel so alone.

It's so special that you have a good relationship with your "Mother In Law". You're a little closer to Houston than I am but not by that much. I am in Deer Park, just east of Houston and next door to Pasadena. I'm in Dallas visiting my daughter now but heading home this afternoon. I'll give you a little wave as I pass through Conroe. I'm crossing my fingers that Bussinbier is right too!
