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 also leaves on the 22nd, my husband and I are taking him to San Diego on the 21st and will stay to see him get sworn in. I am trying to stay calm but he is our only child and just 18 so this is going to be hard. We are very, very proud of him.

My son is leaving tomorrow morning 10/22 as well.He went this afternoon to the recruiters office and got settled into a local hotel. He called me and said he could have dinner with me if I wanted to come pick him up. I was thrilled. Just he and I had dinnerand then I took him back to the hotel. That was very hard but I was so thankful he called me! My husband and I will be there tomorrow morning before he goes to the airport. We live in Louisville, KY.

My daughter leaves on the 22nd. Right now we are having the worse fight our lives. She graduated college in May, moved home and she is going Navy Reserves. We have always been close, but she left house 6 days ago and staying with friends. Needs her space. This is killing me knowing that there will be 7 weeks I cant see her or talk to her. My parents say she preparing herself for the separation. Anyone else going through this?
