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."

Awww Cindy, I'm so sorry! I can't imagine having to turn loose so soon. D has also been acting different. He has been frowning a lot and has a cough. I will be praying for him and for you! I think the transition out of BC is probably harder than we can imagine. Susan

Thank you everyone! My heart is breaking, just got back from the Airport, "E" is off to Pensacola FL!!! And I can't stop crying!!! Jacque...thank you for saying that about "seems distracted and depressed"..."E" is exactly the same way, AND Very quiet, I didn't know if it was because he was sick or not? But I let him have his space, and sleep. He slept the entire day today until 3:15 when I woke him so he could pack...we needed to leave by 4:00! So, I got no time with him today...but he needed to sleep! He was very quiet at the airport and spoke not two words the entire time...and then while sitting there the "BREAKING NEWS" out of Korea comes on...HELLO! I lost it!!! He did tell me Friday he "seems out of his element, and did not feel right wearing civilian clothes, he felt lost," @ Lori...thanks hun, appreciate that! He found out he was given the wrong information from his recruiter...he will be in A school for 3 months, and no leave in February....so, that may have been upsetting him as well! But, he is armed with his new cell phone with all the bells and whistles so I can contact him whenever I want via FB or email or text or call just to hear his voice on his voice mail message :) (Come on....don't tell me none of you are planning on doing that :) ??) :)!!! Well, thanks for listening, I'm lost...nobody is on, but your all spending time with your Sailors...HUG THEM for me too!!! If anyone is going to Pensacola, send them with a extra Hug for my "E!!!" :)
Miss all of you too!!
Cindy

Cindy my heart breaks for you having to say goodbye so soon to your sailor. Mine is home until the 27 and I'm already dreading taking him to the airport. I haven't seen a lot of him since he got home, he's been visiting friends and he seems distracted and depressed. I'm really worried about him. Keep in touch.
