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."

Today, I am extremely emotional. I just walked by her room and lost it. I think once we start getting mail from them, I'll be better. This is actually the first weekend my husband and I will be alone with no kids here in eons. I think that's playing into todays emotions.

I can imagine for mothers of daughters this has to be a whole different kind of emotional. My daughter is planning on going into the Navy when she is done with her college. She plans on doing collage ROTC and going in as an Officer. She has to do things one better than her brother who went in after HS and a E-1. Girls :)
