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."

I guess mentally it keeps me from being really and totally depressed I guess we learn to adjust a little somehow but one thing I would NEVER STOP doing is Worrying about My Son no matter where he is or how old he will Be or who he is with Married or Single. I wouldnt be his Mother if I didnt WORRY about him from the day that I held him in my arms 27 years ago and he made my Life such a Great Joy and seen him Grow to The Wonderful Young Man that he is today Im Forever Thankful to God to have giving me the Joy of Being His Mother and now more than ever I worry about him because he was injured on his ship 4 months ago and I feel helpless that I cant be there to take care of him like he should be taken care of properly.So you see a Mothers Love is to always worry about your child because there is no other Love in the World that can match it and I Pray to God that My Son can get better soon because my Heart is breaking knowing that he is suffering in pain with his back. I would gladly take all his pain and give it to myself if there was a way as long as he was healthy again. Sorry for going on and on but Im having a bad day missing and worrying about him.
