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 daughter left out of Miami on 3/25. I guess her box came today but I wasn't home to sign for it so fedex left a notice. :(
There is so much to learn and this website is full of good info. Hopefully I can navigate all the important stuff so I don't miss anything.

It is so hard to adjust their first time away from home. My son lived away at school for a year when he was 18, I cried all the way from the east cost to the west coast of Florida when we left him. The separation has been a little easier because of that. I miss him like crazy though and can't wait to hear from him. Writing to him helps. Keep in touch, I think it helps to stay connected with other moms!

We got out box. I realized when I typed addresses I have a typo on the zip and it is my work address so he didn't realize. Guess that means I'll have a delay in everything. Boo!!
