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."

I'll come help. My son leaves for Boot Camp on the 26th, so chances are I'm going to be a red puffy mess, but if you don't mind, neither do I. I can make it that afternoon and I will try to round up a friend or two to come along.

Laura, Thank you for your willingness to help. Look forward to seeing you on the 29th!!
