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."

My son leaves on July 14th and I am very proud of him in so many ways, but I am sad as well. I was told I would never have children and after 13 years of giving up, along came my baby boy, and now after 18 years he is leaving our home. I VERY much support his decision to be a part of the Navy and I am very encouraging, but I am still sad, it's really a kinda' crazy mixed up emotions. All in all, he will always be my son and I truly love him for what he is and what he will become in the Navy.

Dallas shipped out on July 14th, it was a very very hard day for me and I wanted to go back one last time just to say "goodbye, I love you", but I had already said that a thousand times. He knows I love him and he knows I am proud of him, but he also knows his mom is a crier. Each day is getting better, but what I think helps is my daughter and I are keeping a daily journal for him of everything that went on that day and how we are feeling. All I know is my son is a part of the greatest Navy in the world.

Try Live at Choice dot com website. She is awesome for support and workshops are great. I have done her Beyond Circumstances and Unpainted Picture. My son left today for Bootcamp.. Though I am sad, I am glad he chose to go. He has so many oppurtunites ahead. I will see him in 60 days and am looking forward to it. I will miss him and yes I have cried for two days off and on now but we will both be okay.
