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."

KLP I know you are waiting for that call. I remember staying home from work so I wouldn't miss it! Don't worry if it comes late. My sailor had to do watch before he could call. It was pure torture! I do hope it comes early for you. Don't worry, it will come.

A blue candle, by tradition, is lit when your Sailor is gone. It is my understanding that it shines a light to guide him/her home to.
I always burn a blue candle when I am at home for him.
I have yet to find one that is electric or battery operated.

I never heard of a blue candle either
