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."

Mom2Bryan - Enjoy your time with your son. Mike was home for 2 weeks. It was so nice to have him home. We dropped him off at the airport this morning and saw him off. Headed to Norfolk, VA. It was hard to say goodbye again, but i as so proud of him. When the airport attendant announced military first to board i gave him a huge hug and said goodbye, the other people waiting to board gave me a smile and thanked him for his service. Brought tears to my eyes, again lol. Then me, my husband and daughter went for breakfast because we were starving lol!! Congrats to your son!!!
