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."

Oh I wish I could go up and meet with you all! Would love it! I have to work and am trying to save up some time off for the end of Oct when he is coming home! His new place I believe is in a town or community called spring something LOL, once he gets moved in hopefully I will have an address! He is so funny though, he has nothing, not a bed , dresser, not anything! His roommate has a couch so I guess that is his bed for a while!

My son is now able to move off base and he and his friend rented a place, I hope it is in one of the places listed as a good area. Now I need to find some time for a visit!
