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."

Those are such sweet photos! Fortunately my brother was able to get a temporary phone at the airport so he's been able to call and text and my mom sent his regular phone to him via FedEx so he got that today. It's much easier now than it was when he was at boot camp, going from daily communication to waiting all week for a slim chance of a quick phone call! I'm several states away but my mom is in Georgia so she'll be able to go visit him soon.

I'm a sister to a Sailor rather than a mom to one. My brother arrived in Pensacola last week and is waiting to start his AE training.
