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."

At this point, I would like to wish you and your sailors all the best! It seems my son has had a change of plans. This past week, he went to Fort Lee in Virginia and is awaiting assignment to a ship. Haven't got many details yet, but it seems like nukes didn't work out. Thanks to all of you for the chats and discussions!

We heard from our son. He said that he still has to pass comps. He is putting in a lot of study time. I think it has been very busy for them.
