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."

Hi All I got a letter. Yeah at first then I read it so I will share
Dear Mom,
I have some bad news. Because Im a grad and go I graduate at 12:30 then I have watch till 20:00 then I leave at 5am. So I dont know the point in you guys getting a room. It sucks IK. Write me back and tell me what you are going to do. Everything is going ok today just doing nothing. tell Ben and Hannah I said HI. I hope everything is going okay. I am fine. Tell me what youm are going to do. Maybe just come and leave. IDK just sucks Love Joey
Ok after I was able to calm myself down I called public affairs. i explained what he said and the lady assured me that PIR is @9am and over at 1030am. He may have watch but maybe only 4 hr shift. But she didnt think so. She said they must be messing with him. i said that I didnt think it is true but had to call and ask. I guess I feel better but... it would be great to know exactly. I wrote him and told him we were still coming no matter what. He obviously believed them to write me and tell me that. I dont know what to think now.
Oh she did say that if he was on a commerical flight I could hang out with him at the airport but if it was a chartered flight I wouldnt. Which I knew thanks to all of you and the info you provide.

msbabyphat - I don't know if pregnant women can take motion sickness pills? but it has always worked for me. It's been so long, I barely remember being pregnant.

Thanks everyone on the congrats on the grandbaby-I'm a little worried about her on our flight in and out of Chicago (we flying in from NC). She gets nauseated easy-so just in case, i booked our seats in back of plane near bathroom-------- so hope it dont bother her too much

I can imagine no more rewarding a career. And any man who may be asked in this century what he did to make his life worthwhile, I think can respond with a good deal of pride and satisfaction: 'I served in the United States Navy.'
