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 sleep with my phone right by my head on loud in case I get a call. It's smart because I will hear if he calls but so far it's just a friend texting me and that tone wakes me up and scares me. LOL! it's worth it in case he does call though.

Hello everybody, My son is on ship 11 division 009. The last couple of times that we have spoken he said things are going well and he has met some friends which makes it's easier on me knowing he's not alone. YESSSSS we are moving on to week 4. We will all be with our Sailors before you know IT!!!!!!
