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."

My son leaves on the 21st. Definitely, so many emotions. I'm trying to spend as much time with my son as possible these last few weeks. Making favorite meals, just hanging out talking, etc. How are you doing? Hope you're hanging in there!

Hi traqs8.....My sone leaves the 28th. I am trying to spend time with him as well. It will be here before we know it and then we can begin to count down the weeks! He has a gf so that is consuming a lot of his time as well. We will need to keep in touch.

It's gone by in a flash! My son has been keeping quite a bit of time with his friends, but I've had a chance to hang with him, too. Tomorrow we take him to MEPS and turn him over. I've been trying to help him get ready, but he says he's got it under control and doesn't need any help - after all they'll give him pretty much everything he needs, huh? lol. I can't help being a mom, that's for sure! :)
Sorry to reply so late - I didn't understand how to see replies. This site is so full of so much info, it's kinda overwhelming.
Keep in touch!
