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."

Summer Plans with your DEPPER.......
I only have 10 weeks, so I have decided to do things fun for him. I want to make his last summer with me as memorable as possible.
Here in Texas, wild hogs are a major problem, It is easy to find a place to hunt. So, we are going "Hog Huntin'" this weekend. He is excited. Now I need to find some more fun things. We are thinking about deep sea fishing next.
What are ya'll doing this summer? I'd love to hear and maybe get ideas.

Hi Margaret,
My name is Maya and I noticed that your son was leaving the same day as my husband :-) You are so far the only person who has their depper leaving the same day as me! Lol :-) We are spending a few days in Orlando doing the amusement parks and stuff...I don't think it has hit me yet that he is leaving in about a month! Well good luck to you and your son! -

And I thought it was hard to send a son off to BC. I can only imagine a spouse! I have tried to spend as much time with my son as possible, without over doing it!

Hi there, my son just graduated high school and wanted to have some time this summer so he leaves Sept 29th. We are taking 2 weeks in September to go on a trip to the Smokey Mountains and stay at a resort cabin and go hiking, fishing, horseback riding, and white water rafting. We love the outdoors! Can't wait to go but then it means it's getting closer to him leaving. I know we will have a great time!
