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 - it will be okay. It's normal for them to question it. I don't think they'd ever tell their parents that though. I think they're all going to go through rough patches over the next few weeks and it probably hurts us moms more than it hurts them. Hang in there. We're all here for you.

Docsangel my son has a really good friend who's been in the Navy for about 18 months now and he said he questioned himself in the beginning but now he just loves it. It will be ok :)

momacharlie- thanks for sharing, I can't seem to breathe today, this 'not knowing' is making me crazy. Then to top that off I just talked to my son's girlfriend and she said she got a letter saying that he's questioning what he got himself into.........
