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."

Yes, thankfully it has. I believe it was when I said," if you don't go to print it out, then you won't be able to come home!" Ha that seemed to get the ball rolling. Thanks everyone.

Ok, I have questions?? My son is coming home on Christmas eve. He informed me last night that he needs to have all of his travel info ASAP. Because he needs to give it to "them" by friday. This friday! Ok, I have everything scheduled and I am planning on overnighting it to him after work. First question: Who? needs what? by friday? Also- Is there some other way to get this info there faster such as a fax number or? as well as mail. These tickets are will call, but he says he still needs copies. I have tried to ask him these things but can't get the answers I need. Also, I am guessing since he is traveling by bus, that he will be able to get to the bus station from there. Sorry to sound so clueless, but at this point, and so close to Christmas, I'm stressing just a little. haha. Anyone that can help me with any of this would be a huge help. Thank you.
