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."

Ah yes, the tears. Not looking forward to the flood down my face!! My step-father was a private pilot and took our DS to the airport many times. Placed that toy jet in his hand when he was 2 years old and that was it, he was "hooked" lol.

For our "winging gift" I found a jeweler that can duplicate the official wings and cast with gold from my Mom's jewelry. I know they are his co-pilots in heaven, and this way he will wear a part of them over his heart. They would be so proud of him.

CQ's are the hardest. What is funny about me right now is that I know that DS is supposed to be going to the boat this week end to requalify on carrier landings, but he was on cruise for 6 months doing it every day. Now I'm stressing. Too funny on my part. I guess that is just being a mother.
Leslie, glad that you are back and getting better. I hope you are feeling well by the time winging comes along.

To be Frock'd - In the Navy, both enlisted and officers can be "frocked." Basically, when selected for promotion, but waiting for their promotion "line number" to be released (which can take up to a year), a commander can allow the officer or sailor to assume the new rank. They don't get paid until their promotion line number is actually released, but they can at least wear the rank.
Mine is due for his line number to come up in September, but by being Frock'd now will allow him better housing at his next assignment (Lieutenant to Lt CMR).
