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."

Oh yeah we will be there. We are driving from North Alabama about a 10 to 11 hour drive. Are you going to the Meet & Greet on Tuesday night? we are staying at the Navy Lodge. Maybe we can all meet up! I think everyone is planning to wear Pink to Meet and Greet and PIR to be able to find all the Navy for Moms! Got to find something Pink! Also one of the moms is making name tags for the Meet & Greet so that we can find each other! We live in North Alabama. Planning on making several trips down to Pensacola! Can always use a reason to go to the beach!

She is 18 so just a baby. She is my first born so it has been a big adjustment to have my first baby leave the nest and then the military on top of it. My husband was in the Navy so I do feel more comforted since I am very familiar with the military life. I am not sure why she decided on the Navy exactly. She actually had been talking about it for a couple years. She is braver than I am and I admire her for that. She is in to be a Corpsman which is exactly what my husband did. What is your son in for?

I know how you feel sweetshave, my oldest daughter is also the one who neft the nest for bootcamp. We are so close that it's sad not having her around. I am so proud of her though for doing something with her life that she can be proud of that it over shadows the sadness of missing her!

My daughter is in division 024. She also called this morning she sounded good but started crying half way through the call. Heart wrenching to hear your baby cry and you can't reach over and give her a hug.
