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."

Hi ladies, my son left yesterday for boot camp and I'm still upright! Lol. I'm actually doing great. It's been a long 11 months to get to this point so I'm somewhat relieved. The past week was rough as he was excited, nervous, and all the other emotions that are hopefully normal. Seeing him all anxious was harder than him leaving so truth be told, I slept like a baby last night, even as as I waited for his "I'm here" call.
