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."

Our son Matt left today (9/18) of San Diego MEPS, we had the opportunity to spend time with him yesterday for lunch, last night at dinner and then today during his processing.. The Crew at MEPS San Diego could not have been nicer to us, from the Top down.. they were great.. Now the waiting game begins. They already had their flight delayed so who knows when they will get to GL.
Next milestone for us is waiting on the arrival phone call. Then cleaning his room!

Sorry about the boys... having raised 4 kids, I know how they can test you... they seem to sense when they can have the upper hand.. LOL. Matt will be going to Pensacola.
He's pretty excited about that... its a beautiful area, great beach and warm water.

How exciting! Ive always wanted to go to Pensacola I hear such good things about the weather. Hope he has a great time there.. now all we have to do is wait for our phone call.. Hope to see you at PIR :)
And you are right about them sensing they can have the upper hand. I hope and pray tomorrow will be different, fingers crossed for that.

Talked to Matt right after they landed in Chicago, they were headed to the USO, they were hoping to be put up in a hotel for the night.. Maybe they can get some sleep.. I'll keep you posted if I hear anything else.
