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."

It sounds like your Son and mine will graduate about the same time. We are driving up from Southern Indiana so it will be a few hours. The recruiter told us that Navy personnel can fly for free if there is room on a transport plane. Also most air lines give a great discount on plane fair for service men and women. Good Luck!

My son left on 10/25 but didnt get there til about 1130 pm. I have an 11 year old boy too.He sleeps in his big brothers room everynight. He asks everyday why Zack had to leave. Zack has got to call a few times but I was always at work so he never got to talk to his brother and sisters. The kids are having a hard time but we made the count down calendar and that seems to help the little ones alot. Zack graduates on dec 17th. When does your son graduate?
