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."

So my son has put his enlistment plans on hold. He was so gung-ho. His girlfriend of over one year has dumped him although she keeps randomly showing up to screw with him. He says, "Mom, how can I make a solid decision right now? I need to know I am enlisting for the right reasons and not to just run away." He also says delayed entry puts him off. He says when he enlists he's ready to go. Can't say I blame him on that one. I am so sad. Im afraid I can envision him in the Navy more than he can at this point. Asking for prayers to help him make the decision that is right for him...

So grateful for our sailors in Haiti. So many of my staff are Haitian. They are coming to work daily not knowing whether their loved ones are alive or dead...such strong, courageous people.
