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."

Wish subs were live streamed. They leave at weird times and no major homecoming. At least when he comes home I get to see a pic of his sub on the website for his base. It's nit much but its something!

Hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July! Fourth of July last year was the last holiday I spent with my subber. Kind of melancholy, our other son (stepson) is in Afghanistan now and I missed him too. I am guessing my bubblehead is underway now, last I heard from him was July 2, when he said soon, when I asked when he was going out.

Hi Jeano, I haven't seen my son for about 7 months. He was on deployment and when he got back I was in Florida and has been busy since he got back. Like you, my son is visiting this weekend (he is 5 hours away). I hope you have a great visit.
