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."

Ruth - Sending positive thoughts your sons way.
My son surprised us at midnight last night home on leave until he joins his ship on his way to C school. I am EXCITED and going to make the most of our time together.

Thank you, all! He skyped his new financee twice this morning from a hotel room (!) in Spain so they got that far safely. I wish he were on a ship! I don't think I'd worry so much about him, but with prayer, I know he'll be fine.

My GM son is leaving this morning from Norfolk with some of the Navy's elite warriors on a military transport headed for parts unknown, though he's been checking the weather there and talks about dust storms. I know where that is.
