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."

Hi! I live in Dallas, and I attended my son's PIR on 03/09. Yes, do start saving now - you should go to your son's graduation. It was such a moving ceremony - I was so proud. We spent some time with my son in Chicago, and there are so many fun things to do there.

Angie, my son is not on the USS Enterprise - but I do live in Nederland - and my son is deployed now. Want to visit? We could meet at Starbuck's or something one evening.

I think when they are away for the first time they are looking for a security blanket. I am not saying they don't love each other, but he needs to feel anchored right now. I do hope and pray it works out! I got married at 19 myself and am still married after 47 years! My son wasn't so lucky! But, please pray for the best!

Brenda72, Sorry to hear of your son's "dumb" decision.lol !. He should be spanked for not telling you!!! He is probably feeling like he's all grown up and can make decisions without moms help. He will be fine. Life has a way of teaching us what we need to learn!! Hang in there.
