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."

04harleyswife-mark the calendar. I never received so many letters in one day but I remember receiving 2 in one week. That made me happy. So glad you got to see him in pictures, too. Those performing divisions are kept really busy the last few weeks before they PIR.

b4g-I had this discussion with another mom. The only thing I can remember (a minor senior moment) is "deployment" is when they are on a ship homeported in the U.S.and it goes out for 6-7 months. Overseas I believe they call it "being underway". Kat, was it you I had this discussion with? Correct me if I'm wrong.

Here's a kind of dumb question ...is it only considered a "deployment" if they are overseas or out of the country?

Thanks for all the "welcomes"! I saw my son at swearing in this morning and he is flying to BC this evening. Now I wait for the call tonight and the box and letter after that. I hope these 8 weeks fly by but I know they will be so hard.
You guys at Navy4moms make it alot easier.
