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."

My son will hardly ever use the camera. He did show me around the lobby of the hotel he was stationed in at Seychelles. That was pretty nice.

Im definetly looking for a web cam this weekend! We have our skype set up but no cam :( Kathy what is a Vonage box?
-

We talk on Skype!! I like it because it is free (you have to have internet connection) and I can see him also - if he will turn on his camera. Most of the time we just type and leave messages because he is seven hours ahead of me right now.

Hello everyone. I haven't been on in a long time but I follow comments on my email. Japan sounds like a great adventure for sure. My son graduated (or whatever it is called) from Hospital Corpsman school in San Antonio on Monday. He is doing clinicals for a week at the VA hospital and then home for a couple of weeks and then to Jacksonville, FL!

She also said she wasn't sure how much time she would have between A school and Japan. To come down to Texas.
