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."

Thanks ame7 and mamawalrus, we had a great visit over the weekend and drove my son back to the airport yesterday morning, they even let us go to the gate area and sit with him until the plane boarded. He is doing very well in nuclear field A school and will finish soon -- he will come home again just 5 weeks from now, after he graduates Electronics Technician A school and gets 10 days of leave. Since we already visited Goose Creek 6 weeks ago we will be staying home for A school graduation. I said we will visit Goose Creek again to attend his Power School graduation next April, so he better STUDY STUDY STUDY Lol.
