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."

I am glad it worked out for him!

Definitely a good thing for my son. He was Depper for about 4 months, then was told after BC that he would be on hold for 15 days. But they were able to start a week earlier. He is a much happier person now.

I heard from my sailor yesterday. Gulfport isn't too bad he says, just hot. He is holding, so they can do with him as they please for the next 13 days. Lord, please let that time go fast for him.
