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."

This has been the best week so far! I am so proud of the the boys in DIV 001 ! Zach said he has made some great friends!!!! My son was sick for a few days and sounds like he is still a bit under the weather. I was so happy to chat with him on Facebook, I called all the family and he got swamped with chats :-) Zach said he is flying out really early Saturday morning. I am not going to make it to graduation :-( I really hope everyone that does has the best time! I know you will be so happy and proud when you see your SAILORS!

I'm so proud of them too!!! They've earned all possible flags, plus Captain's Cup! I'm sorry you won't be able to make it to graduation. My SR is flying out early Saturday too, but we will have a few hours with him at least. He was able to talk to me for an hour and a half and talk to his sister for about 45 min! We have definitely been blessed, although the weeks in the middle were so tough. Definitely the best week so far, but I think the very best is yet to come!

My son told me a funny story, and I think you were the one he was talking about---well, at least with regard to the posts on this site. It was so cute! I'm not sure how to work the "friend" inbox thing, but if you know how just send me a request and I'll tell you about it. It was sooooo funny. My son was soooo freaked out that I knew so much, so I told him about this site. Then he was like, "Ohhhhh! That explains ......" I'll have to fill you in:)

Yeah, my boyfriend was on facebook! It was a pleasant surprise lol. :) Saw him comment on my picture, I made my friend pull the car over so I could read then I made him drive all the way back to his house so I could use his computer, lol! We also spent an hour on the phone. He's telling me some hilarious stories about people. Hahahaha.
