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 son is graduating on this date too. He's ship 3 div 24. He is ready for bootcamp to be over but is happy with his decision to join the Navy. I'm just proud of him. Sure I miss him but that is my own selfishness to deal with. He needs to know that I'm ok when he calls so i always answer the phone with a smile on my face. I cannot wait to see him in his uniform!
