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."

Hi everyone, new to the site. My son is in DIV 22 and I've been reading all the comments here. Seems like we all go through the same thing :) If I'm not with my phone 24/7 I'm waiting for the mail man to show up everyday.

I have a question of those who are staying in Great Lakes for A school, does anyone know if we will be able to spend time with our loved one until Sunday? 

Thank you so much for the advice, you are an Angel!

Yes they have the whole weekend. I'm leaving on a monday bevause theres no late flights for sundays and its much cheaper if you leave monday :)

OMG thank you! I'm even more excited. I get to spoil him and cook for him. We are staying at the Residence Inn and I'm sure he's going to want mamas cooking and long long hot shower. I get tears just talking about him. I'm so proud and lost without him if you get what I mean lol?
