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."

My son also had his lower wisdom teeth removed, I was really surprised when he told me, looks like others had the same deal? I can't wait to see him again, 3/28 can't get here soon enough. I miss him.

I am new here and though my son is a grown man with his own family...well, my Grandmother said it best when she said it doesnt matter how old your child is they will always be your "baby"! (and of course I never say that out loud!) He turned 25 on Valentine's Day, and that was hard for me...I did ok the day he left and work long hours so dont have much idle think time...but his b-day...I cried a lot that day...it hit me that my little boy was really grown(well, having a wife and child didnt so much because they live close by) Is anyone from Georgia? or have a "nuke" saailor?
