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 is also in this division and graduating on Jan. 13. We just went up to see him for Adopt-A-Sailor. I am impressed at the change in him. Has any other mom's noticed the change? I am excited for graduation.

Thank you for the prayers. He graduated on the 18th and received his leave today. He will be home on the 30th. He is on medical hold in THU until he has recovered fully and the doctors declare him fully fit. We have truly had our Christmas wishes granted. Hope everyone has had as wonderful a Christmas as we have.

It changes them for sure. Ours is home. My husband, son and daughter went with him to do some target practice today. I have a little while to myself. It is so good to have him home for a few days. I am already dreading Friday when he has to go back. He is so excited to be home. He has slept in for two days. He has his week planned as well. Will continue to keep yours in our prayers. So glad you were able to talk with him for a while. It does a Mom's heart good just to hear their voice. It is amazing what we can hear in their voice that others can't. Have a great day!!!
