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."

I understand how you feel :) My son has been in Naples since April 2012 and I was hoping to be able to take a trip to Italy to see him, but it doesn't look like it is going to happen since he is trying to come home on leave this summer and will just be there until April 2014. Oh well, maybe I will get to travel to his next duty station. I can't believe it's been over a year since I've seen him!
