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."

@Kc'smom Thank you it was just wonderful I can't even begin to express it however it was so short of an amount of time with him, but I wouldn't have changed it for the world. Zach wanted to know what your son's name was because he was there at that time as well. @WestonsMom thank you as well. @ Colten's Mom he was injured end of 4 beginning of 5. Thank you gals again :-) just stay strong and one day we will all be celebrating your sons as well.
