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 shipping out of New Orleans on 7/10. He depped in back in November, so it's been a looooong wait.
Most of us should be in the same PIR group. How exciting! I'm looking forward to this journey to begin.

So we are leaving tomorrow to get my son (Nathan) to MEPS. Then dinner, hopefully some sleep, then in morning back to MEPS for swear in then I get to fall to pieces, hopefully after he has left for the airport. Trying to keep it together and stay strong for my son is wearing me out. I really dont want his last site of me for awhile to be me in tears. So proud of him, yet so sad to see him leaving.

Nathan is leaving from San Jose California. Would love to keep in touch. We are driving out to Illnois to see graduation whenever that date will be. There are six in my family, so we decided to drive. I counted the days and grad falls somewhere around Labor day week, I think. Is your son leaving the same day?
