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."

Eaglemom, my son-in-law is at Fort Hood. We love it because they just transferred from Colorado. I have seen my grandkids almost every weekend since just before Christmas. They are only 2.5 hours away!

It's my son. He is ship 3 div 89. He left January 19 and will graduate March 16. This was my first phone call. And you are right, I miss him like crazy. He is my middle child and really knew how to push my buttons. Sometimes I thought the day would never come for him to leave for BC. Now that he has been gone for a month, those days seem so long ago. Hope your call comes soon

Just had a brief call from my son. He sounded tired and hoarse but otherwise ok. It only lasted a few minutes because he only had 10 minutes and I had to share with the girlfriend, but that is ok. Just good to hear his voice

I did it..made it through my son's ship date 02/16/2012 with only a few tears. I think it was easier for me because he had already left home once before to go to college 10 hours away. But I am finding it hard not being able to pick up the phone and call him to see how he is.

Sorry don't remember who is in GL this weekend - but you will probably get Monday with your sailor! It is a federal holiday. Brings back some bittersweet memories of my sailor asking me to please change all my reservations and stay one more day aNd he would even pay! I did stay ( but I paid). Makes me tear up to this day four years later!
