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."

survival training......I heard from my eel -eating guy that some of your boys caught and swallowed live fish whole! Remember that next time they're fussy about a meal you've cooked!

i heard from my son tonight. He said A is great...learning tons of info. They definitely had to take a cold dip. I'm so thankful that all the guys there are doing well. Time seems to be going a little faster now.

I think the toughest part of being a parent of these great soldiers is keeping ourselves busy so we don't consume ourselves with worry. Looking at it from TravisM and Proudmom view point, helps to reduce that stress level. They are being trained to handle all situations, so there is comfort in knowing they'll be with their training buddies.

A friend asked me earlier today if stories like that upset me. I realized that I am past that now. When I hear about the unfortunate deaths of SEALS, I actually become prouder of my son (if that is possible).... The comforting thought is the brotherhood that these guys share and how lucky they are to be together!
