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."

Thank you all. I too have heard great things about Japan. He is very excited about going. We will be going to see him as soon as we can. Our youngest is going to Great Lakes in Feb. He will be a Spook. As empty nesters we will be able to go see them often. I hope. Best of luck to your sailor Mindya. It's been a long journey for them. I know they are excited to join the fleet.

I haven't posted in a long while. I decided to send an update on my Nuke son. He is almost done with Prototype. He has a few more quals to get through. He will be going to Japan. Nuke school has been long and stressful training for my son, but he prevailed! His dad and I are so very proud of him.
