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."

Congrats to you and your son, jamie-nates mom! That is wonderful. I bet he will love Italy and hopefully will be able to see some of Europe while he is stationed there. He'll make new friends on the base there :-) and hopefully will stay in touch with his old ones. Best of luck to him in his future with the Navy!

hismomdeeship: My son's rooommate is an LS. They both arrived Feb 7th in Meridian. Like Joymar said, lots of watches in the beginning (10 hours worth in just a few days with another person so they can learn the base). Your son will have some down time compared to boot camp. When school starts, it gets busy again, but they have some free time on the weekends. Talked to my son yesterday, and he said it was a warm day there...compared to Great Lakes!
