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."

Good Morning!
Heard from him this morning, I'm so happy and relived! Sounds good and busy as you said! Patience is rewarded. Hope everyone has a great day.

Yes I do have his email and have gotten 2 since they left, it's just been a while. I know I know, whining does no good, thanks for listening just needed to get if off my chest so to speak. I am part of the Lincoln group and that's good, but I've not found a mom of an ABE to get info from. What is RIMPAC? Still learning Navy "lingo".

Hello, I just found your group. My son graduated earlier in August ABE, came home for a wonderful week, left for the Lincoln, then 7 days later, pulled out of Everett for 7 LONG months :-( Needless to say I've been in a bit of a fog, not sure of anything. Didn't have time to "wade" into being with the fleet b4 he left. I've heard of many things and I'm not sure of anything that we can do for him. All this on top of not hearing from him for the past 5 days, I'm beginning to go crazy.
