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."

I am raising both hands, my son left last Tuesday and it has been the most difficult week of my life. But I am going to hang in there because I am so proud of him and I believe at 17 years old being part of the Navy is going to make him the man he is meant to be. :)

I miss him!!! I am a little emotional today so it will be a long day unless teacher training gets my mind off of him today. I was hoping for a letter yesterday and I didn't get one. I am hoping when I get home today I have one.

I miss my son....although with the letter this week and all of the other communication from family on here and FB, it's really helping to ease the separation...only a few more weeks and we'll be able to hug them...look at them (OK< stare at them!!) and have more access to that all powerful communication!!
Hang in there...We've got this one!!
