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."

I see there's strill only a few of us. I'm sure you are all just waiting by the phone like me. My son sounded pretty good in his letter buy I know how fast things can change in BC so I just want him to call so I know he's still ok. From what everyone says, it should actually start getting better for them now that the first three weeks are over.
When the parade goes past our house tomorrow I'm sure there will be military in it, I just hope I can keep it together for that. Happy 4th.

Happy 4th to you too! We are heading to the parade today and you are right, seeing the military will be emotional!! I would also like to hear his voice and find out if he knows where he's going to A school so we have an idea how much we will see him that weekend. Have a great day!

Happy 4th to you ladies too! I thought that maybe we would get phone calls this weekend. Not yet for me. But we still have today. Enjoy the parade. Be sure to take tissues with you! When you see the flag it will hit you. Mine is flying at my house! We are so proud of our SR! Have a great day!
