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."

Sailors can travel down to the gulf as long as there back in time.(Always with a buddy) Nobody can go alone. More freedom as they go on... I would like to help with any info. we have been through bootcamp/ A-school / C-school/dutystation/ and now she is at sea... BRAVO ZUZU to your sailor and you too... CARRY ON

Our sailor payed 280.00 to reroute. Her duty station is in the same state as we live.(lucky) the cab ride is 300.00 to Jackson, navy doesn't pay for your ride if your going home. If her duty station is over seas you will pay BIG money to reroute. The cost for wifi is worth it our sailor skyped every nite before bed. She is out to sea and hes only skyped once. Her lunch time is 230am our time. She calls from the ship phone once a week for 15 mins and emails when she can GOOD LUCK & CARRY ON

$3000 seems a bit excessive to me, I believe my son paid $300 at most.
