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."

We have another son at MEPS tonight. Took his ASVAB and scored well enough for Search and Rescue Swimmer and Navy Diver. I guess whichever one he gets a contract for first is what he'll go for.

TiffsMom, see if he can text you his mom's or dad's phone numbers. It might help all of you to stay in touch.
