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."

Liberty,
How is your son doing?
My daughter is enjoying her time on her ship and learning all of the new hands on skills. We did get a chance to so a surprise visit at the beginning of the month. I hope that your son is finding the field enjoyable for him.
I hope all is well with you also, it has been a while since I have been on this sight.
Have a great night. Sharon

He is now doing GSE. He started with an EOD contract and made it through the Dive Prep class, but did not make it through Dive Class in Florida. He was disappointed, of course. I was sad, for him, but honestly relieved that he would not be doing EOD. Now, with what is going on in the world, I am very concerned that he will be finished with training much sooner and off in the engine room of a ship! I am a wimp and this is all very difficult for me to deal with. I am trying to be calm but "calm" is not really my thing! Haha! I hope that you are doing much better than I am! Haha! Best of luck to your Sailor!
