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."

Anyway...she just laughs at me and how hard I have taken my son going to boot camp. her perspective is much more like yours. Welcome to our group! It will great to have your perspective and you probably have some great tips for coping from your own life! I look forward to getting to know you. So was your family ever lucky enough to be stationed in "why not Minot"??
