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."

Thanks for the information. My SR packed a bag for us to bring him before he left for BC. When I spoke to him last Saturday, he asked me to go through it and add anything I think he might want. I notice he didn't pack any of his underwear or his ipod and a few things mentioned on the other group, so I added more to his bag.

My SR didn't pack a thing before he left, which leaves me to pack for him---that should be interesting. I'm thinking pink boxers or power ranger underroos (remember those!) That should be a big hit!

I can't see my son either. If I recall, my son told me that your son was right in front of him during marching.
Look at all the flags they've earned! Can anyone tell me what they mean? Two are obvious, but I don't know the rest.
You know why they're marching so nicely, don't you? There's a guy with a sabre!!!!!
