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."

This weather is just crazy. I wondered if my son would leave on time. The morning of his flight it started snowing real hard, but it stopped and he was able to leave. My friends son left last week for the Air Force and he was delayed a day due to weather. Its hard because they get all psyched up to leave and then they get delayed. I am sure he is doing fine now! How are you holding up?

I cried all day Friday every time I would think about him. He was all ready to go to the hotel on Tuesday when the recruiter called and said they were delayed a day. Now I'm just excited to get a letter from him! I hope your son is doing well, as well as you! :)
