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 left yesterday for GL. I got his call at 12:02am. I was concentrating so much on hearing his voice that I wasn't really listening to what he was saying, haha. I was able to tell him I loved him at the end of the 20 second call and he even said I love you too! Now the waiting begins. I hope to make it on Saturday but will be getting back on Friday from vacation so we will see.

My youngest of 3 children left on Tuesday for Great Lakes. Somehow, by the grace of the Almighty God, I have not had an emotional breakdown...yet. I know it's coming!
Glad her and her big brother will reconnect in Texas at A school come October.
I am looking forward to meeting you all next Saturday!
Cheers!!!!
