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."

Docsangel - we are here for you as well :) I rec'd five letters today and with the phone call yesterday my son sounds good. Other than being sick and sore from the dentist. He told me in a letter he keeps his mouth closed at all times but some people just can't seem to and they all get punished. He too went to church, miss home, but said he is good. We are also at the Navy Lodge but won't get there until around 7:15-7:30 on 6/30. I will be with my parents as my husband is staying home with our daughers. My ex will arrive sometime...but don't know too much. My son also told me one of the gus in there div will probably have no family attending so he told him they are family and he could hang with us. I hope to meet you all sometime as this is quite the journey we are all taking together.

Docsangel - What time do you arrive in Chicao on 6/30? Are you flying in to O'Hare or Midway? We are flying in to Midway and are supposed to arrive at 9:43AM. You are more than welcome to hang out with my husband, daughter and I.

This whole thing has gotten so complicated. On top of all my anxiety and disappointment I am trying to plan this trip. My son has expressed to his gf that me flying up for his send off party was nice but he was disappointed that i didn't bring his sister. She didn't want to go because their father and his new wife would be there. Now for the PIR: My daughter is committed to be a camp counselor for three weeks ending on 7/3 (9 hours round trip to pick her up) that she committed to before he left. She doesn't want to leave early because she could lose her spot for next year and she also doesn't want to see her father and his new wife. Soooooooo it looks like i am flying solo for the graduation, to share the day with his father and new wife, gf and her parents. My ex and his new wife are leaving on Saturday so I am flying my husband (who will stay behind to retreive my daughter VERY early Saturday morning) and my daughter in on Saturday evening. I am praying that my son gets liberty through Sunday in order for this whole plan to not be for naught. Are we exausted yet?? I think I'm back to sob......You're right fabnoble, what we don't do for our kids.......
