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."

My SR is not a writer. He texts and called. He communicates with his brother more than me. He hasn't been deployed yet. That happens the end of Sept.

Ladies when you Sailor was in school prior to leaving were you getting the calls and letters still? what happens when they get depolyed do the calls and letters stop? when deployed do they ever dock anywhere?
-

Well I hope my SR has found out a few things prior to going on the Ship. I'll have to ask him. Fan is another great idea.
Thank you

Yes very good idea, I will have to note that, my son doesnt really think to much about stuff like that, so If I do I may score points! LOL thanks. So Oleander when you shipped the blender did you also send the protein powder? I know I use to get him stuff like that when he was in wrestling. some good info. Thanks Ladies

Very good to know I will ask my SR. about sending him items like that. Never thought of the blender
-

ok I will be writing some of these things down, I figure I better talk with him while there in Great Lakes to find out what he may be wanting me to send. I know once he get deployed that will be another thing I will have to deal with. but all info is Great Thanks Ladies. So Glad to be here and to learn what is needed.

I cried on a daily basis. It got easier and it is when they are stateside. Can face time him and text. It's when he will be in Japan that will probably send me over the edge for a bit. I'm trying to be strong.

I am taking his Tablet and his Headphones to Graduation but he told me no phone, he wants to purchase a new one later when he has time so calling cards is what I have been sending and alot of stamps. I figure he knows what he wants so I am ok with that. He wants to start being able to take responsibility for his actions and for what he is wanting, its so hard for me not to be able to be mom like I was because he is so far and growing up to be such a young Gentleman. I knew this time was coming but I'm having a hard time with that, hes not my little boy anymore. thank you for that information.
