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."

Leaving July 8th
So soon after high school graduation, but I know my daughter would leave sooner if she got the call. My corpsman in training has been ready for this day for 6 years.

My son leaves 7/8/14. He will be leaving us on 7/7/14. He didn't want us to drive the 4 hours to MEPS to see him off. He holds onto the idea that it is not that big of a deal since he will see us in September. September seems like a long time away to me!

Our son Jon leaves 7/8 - taking him to recruiter today who will drive him to MEPS. we will have dinner with him tonight and then see him sworn in tomorrow. Enjoyed a good, last night with him including a slumber party on our bedroom floor with his siblings. Repeating this process in three weeks should be easier when his twin leaves for BC on 7/29...it's an emotional July this year!

My son left July 8 as well. I'm wondering who he is with and a lot of other thoughts going through my mind. Most of all... I miss him terribly!
