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."

Not a mom but my brother leaves the same day, he is going in as an Aviation Machinist Mate (AD). What rate is your son? Time is ticking, my mom cried this past weekend, I think the reality is sinking in for her now...

Thats sounds like a neat job. I've asked him if he's getting nervous a couple of times and he just says not nervous just anxious. Honestly, I think that he's just playing tough guy but when we part ways with him after the swear in ceremony, reality will set in. Do you think that this is a good decision that your son has made to join? I believe that its the best thing for my brother right now...

I think its an excellent decision, im just going to miss him very much. Of course the week after he leaves it is his birthday and Easter on the same day. That will be a sad day
