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."

beckmcs, I thought my sailor said you guys were coming out to your sailor for Christmas. Great idea. If you guys decide to do that again before our guys graduate, let us know. We'll try to coordinate coming out at the same time. It seems our guys get along pretty well.

We just returned from Christmas in Monterey with our sailor. We rented a house in Pebble Beach, with a full kitchen, so we could enjoy some of the home cooked yummies our son has missed since August. The family time was amazing and the beauty of the area is breathtaking...seriously, a much overused word but spot on here. A big highlight was a tour of the Presidio of Monterey, these sailors have a most beautiful setting to learn and thrive!

The goodbyes get a little less painful each time, it seems.

We put our sailor on a plane very early this morning. He's back in Monterey safe and sound. This week went too quickly. It sounds like some of you guys are planning trips out there in the summer. Are you just picking a date and hoping they will be out of class or did you just pick a date knowing they may not be able to get leave during that time? I'd like to start making plans to visit, but I don't want to go during a time they're in class.

At least my son shaved! But he was messy while he was home-but he did make his bed before he left!

Oh and by the way.... My boy reverted back to his messy ways while on leave- haha. No making the bed, no folding his clothes, no shaving! He enjoyed the freedom.

It was wonderful to have our sailor home. He's such a great kid and has grown up so much in these last six months. It's bittersweet having them home only to say goodbye again. Happy New Year everyone!

Sounds like we're all going through the same thing-you just wish time would stand still, you know? Having a going away party is a great idea! My other son is leaving on Friday for a new job in Florida. We're happy for him but this will be a really empty nest.

My son's flight leaves at 5am tomorrow morning. He is supposed to be there around 4am...... he's decided to go to the airport late tonight and sleep in the USO area until it's time to get up!!! We're having his going away party tonight. Can't stand the thought of him leaving again.

My son leaves tomorrow sometime to head back. I know he'll miss us but I also know he's excited to begin school!
