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 son just called he passed! Phone reception was poor so it kinda ruined it but I don't care we made the best of it!

My mother,nephew and I will be at the Comfort Inn. I was just working on the airport shuttle. You'll know me my leg will be in a cast! My son doesn't know that what a surprise!

OMG swine flu Alex 12/294 has been sick since he got there! I really hope it doesn't hold them back! I got a letter yesterday he said he is behind in his PT from being sick. But he said all is well.

SuZQ we will be there and we be sure to make it up to him!

I got a letter from Alex too today. It was really perfect because today was his birthday I hope no one found out I wasn't even allowed to send him a card [at his request] apparently they harass you if they find out. This is his first birthday away from home. He jokingly said this is the best birthday ever...not!

Sorry to hear that Wyo Mom. I can't even imagine what you are going through and your son also. Best Wishes.
