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."

Your son should have his record updated - did he live with you when he enlisted? It sounds like you are moving to a different state completely and his "home of record" is changing, it does need to be updated.

I am moving to Wisconsin from Florida, yes the Florida address is his home of record. I am keeping the house but no one will be in it. So I dont know if HIS home of record is the same as My home of record or on record? I have to move to find enough work in order to keep the Florida house. Kind of a strange situation!

Debbie, it is just good to update the records just for emergency contact purposes, even though my son was in Hawaii with his dad when he enlisted he still used my address as his address.
