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."

Just want to let you know that for the entire 5 years that my son was in the Navy, I left his room exactly the way it was the day he left. Lucky for us, he is a very organized individual. Everything was neat and tidy. So if you find yourself feeling just not up to doing anything - it's OK. BTW, the years go by quickly. My son is now a civilian. The Navy years were good for him.

My son left Monday and I feel like I lost something. I received his box today and first thing I did was smell his shirt. It was a comfort for me to have his things. I actually feel much better.
