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."

Hello Lori, It is hard to believe that I was in your shoes over 2 yrs ago. It is so AMAZING to watch our 'little' ones grow up. The other ladies are so right when they say to write, write, write to your son. I wrote to my son, Allen every day and he told me then that he really looked forward to those letters. They are so mature and grown up when we see them at PIR it is awesome! Hang in there, you will make it thru.
