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."

Well sent an e-mail asking my son what his rate was. He has called home every night since we got back on Mon. He is such a sweet boy, misses his family. it is so nice to be able to communicate with him now, makes it easier.

I was wondering why people were asking what his rate was. I didn't ask my son what his rate was because I didn't feel it was any of my business what he got paid. Now i understand, but still don't know his rate, I guess I will have to ask anyway.
