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."

Zim's Mom...LindaA is right about the Japan mom's site...check it out, they are an awesome group of women with lots of info and support to offer. I don't think I have seen a question go unanswered nor a fear or rant pass without comforting words..hope to see you there :)
Do you have your flighttracker going yet?
I hope your sailor has a safe and uneventful trip and pray you get some rest in the process...HUGS to you :)

Also, there is a Japan Mom's group on this site.... :)

Here's a BIG {{HUGG}} to you Zim's Mom... it's hard on us but so good for them ... contact Navy Mary on this site ... I believe her son is also in Okinawa. JLmom(Lisa),, Sasebo was the first port of call for my Sailor (on the USS Ronald Reagan) after they assisted in the tsunami efforts... he said the people were so kind and gracious and he loved it. Navy Mary's son also loves Japan, and I know my son would probably jump at the opportunity to be there.
