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 Kathy,
It was so great meeting you, Nancy and J., I hope you had a great weekend with your son. It sounds like you made some good friends while you were here, that is wonderful, I think it is hard for the boys because now they go in different directions. I hope we keep in touch, I would love to hear what is going on with you and J. Take care! Tell Nancy I said HI!!!!!

Hi,
Hope everyone made it home safely, I still get to spend today with my son and a few of his friends, we are going downtown today. Yesterday the boys were saying they were packing Tuesday morning (today is the last day of their leave), and most of them leaving Wed., or Thur morning. Well at least we can talk with them, I think (for me) that was the worst part is not being able to talk with my son. I like the new name for our group, we do have amazing young men and women, but I got to say their parents are pretty amazing also.
