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."

My husband called to say that we just got our "form" letter in the mail with a graduation date of June 4! I thought it would be June 11, but am perfectly happy with June 4. My son wanted to assure me that "camp" has been crazy. As soon as I get home from work, I will post his Ship No. and Division No.

Also, welcome from me. I'm home from work burning off some vacation time. It's
a beautiful day after a soggy weekend. I watched the OKC memorial ceremony this morning. During the presentation of colors I thought about how the next time we see our kids they'll be in uniform. That was a "wow" moment for me. When that happened David was only in second grade. I have dubbe Jessica our "N4Ms guardian angel" in my letter to David today. I'm using some of her question suggestions. Also, I haven't been able to visualize what he might be doing on any given day but thinking that he might be writing a letter yesterday made me feel a little closer to him.

Hi! I'm glad I found all of you! My son is Ship 07, Div 201. I'm glad to hear that I am not alone.....having my son leave for boot camp was harder than I thought.....but such "the right thing" (my screen name!) My emotions and tears come and go so unexpectedly, but so proud!
