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."

Sinda, Cherish each moment with your sailor! I know exactly what you are saying about getting everything perfect. My daughter will be coming home in 3 1/2 weeks and I will be doing the same thing before she comes home. That's what us Moms do. Fortunately for me she will be going to Jacksonville,FL for the next 3 years. Will you be able to go see your son overseas? Godspeed to your son and to all our sailors. Hooyah!

My son just left Kings Bay base in GA. It is an hr out of Jacksonville FL. I hope to go see him overseas, it really depends on my health. He will be heading to Bahrain. My sailor is excited about going. I have always wanted to travel and see the world. Now if all goes well I will have a great reason to do that. Enjoy your sailor when she comes home. I know that I sleep alot better when mine is home. Thanks for your support.

Have you considered a "Welcome Home" banner. Hubby is probably right because friends are married, working or in the service.....................good luck.

Our daughter had two tours at the Bahrain's Navy Comm center. Bahrain is the safest place in the Gulf region. Place your order for the items you want from Dubai..................
