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 boyfriend left on that day as well. He is the same ship09 div015 as your son. I am so sad. he called me last week when they got to call home and I missed both of his calls because my phone was on vibrate but it was right in front of me and then the third time I picked up his call but we only got to talk for ONE MIN because he thought I was busy so he waited to call again last minute :((

My son leaves too. His name is Aaron. I am all confused on everything and the time is approaching fast. He is going with his recruiter to the high school today. I wish I could go to MEPS tomorrow with him. What field is your son enlisting for?
