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."

Jacob's off!

Just wanted to let everyone know,, my youngest son Jacob shipped off today,, he just called from Great Lakes,, hes tired,, what an emotional two days it has been,, his daddy and I have held each other and cried so much,, its so strange to be so sad and so proud all at once.  Im having a hard time no hearing him in the house, he comes up to me all the time and puts his arms around my shoulders, picks on me,, what a change.  Joshua, my older son, hopefully will have luck with the ASVAB in June,, he feels left out watching his younger brother leave without him. We are covering him in praise and good thoughts.  Have a wonderful evening all

Good luck to  Jacob and Joshua too.  And, Mom, good luck to you!  It can be a rough ride some times.  Always be positive with him, tell him you miss him, just don't tell him how much!!  We are all there with you.
