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."

One more week before enlistment. It's going to be a full one of activities with my son. Holding up pretty well. Purchased bandaids, moleskin and phone cards yesterday. Of course, son thought all that was just silly. Good thing we moms stick together!

Thanks NOAM, that is a great idea! His recent phone calls have been much better. I guess he was just having a bad day as we all do. I am sure he had those in Boot Camp but he couldn't call home to tell me about them. I called last night and put me on speaker phone so the guys around him could shout out their requests for the next package. Looks like I am stopping at the Dollar Store on the way home for more paddle ball and yo-yos. Everyone wants beef jerky. "Send several bags of beef jerky, Mom" Fun. Thanks for the thoughts, well wishes, and suggestions everyone.
