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."

Hello Ladies,
I'm home now, but I had so much fun with my son this weekend!!! That was so amazing! Another very sad goodby but only for a few weeks until we meet again. At least we can communicate via phone and internet, speaking of which, I need to set up that hotspot for him because it seems there are none on that base. GL is so beautiful and that base was breath-taking. I told him to appreciate it as not all bases will be that pretty throughout his career. He has made some pretty impressive friends already and is really looking forward to his new life and plans down in San Diego. Take Care - Stacy

Thanks for he info! I contacted ATT and figured out that he will lose his unlimited plan if I switch to the tethering plan and only get 5 Gigs so I'm status quo right now until we figure out somthing else. He said he figured out that the USO has wifi in it at the base entrance today so he has that option to go there when he wants to use his ipad and not his iphone; its so complicated trying to communicate!!!
Anyway thank you for the heads up. I asked him if he knows Moose but he said no. Hopefully he will meet up with him. Is he SWCC or Seal? My son is going SWCC. - Stacy
