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."

HOOYAH, navymom! So so wonderful! So glad you are on your way. He will do BattleStations tomorrow night then, right? Since he will be up in the balcony, you can stare at him all during PIR! Maybe you want to sit up there too...to be closer to his section!
Safe travel and I'm extra special happy for you !
