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."

Alisha I can tell you that knowing next month is around the corner and I will get to see my son soon is what has been keeping me sane. Did you ask your Daughter if she knows my son? I really hope they have gotten to know each other and have become friends as well.
