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."

Angie- My heart goes out to you. Yes, you do know what to expect but like you saidy you also know what happens. You and your son will be in my prayers. My Sailor is also my youngest and was the last to leave home - it made it even harder with the empty nest thing. Keep us posted on his progress!! We want to know what he's doing and everytime you get a letter or phone call! :)
