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."

Helen, you sound normal to me. It is such an emotionally charged time. I found myself all over the place. You'll have lots of wonderful and fun memories & laughs too at the cleaning up of the room. Hang in there. You are doing great and everything will and does work out. Promise.

Thanks Johanna, all hugs very gratefully received! Holding steady in that very surreal place which you all have already passed through! Am trying to make some fun memories in between yelling at my son to get his room cleaned up before he goes. He leaves on Oct. 16 -- please send good thoughts after that. I think it will hit me more then.

We came up with 16 FULL boxes.
