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."

Thanks so much Brenda. I will check out Molly's Adopt a Sailor. We are 10 minutes from DFW. Should I try and get her family and friends involved. I don't want to upset her further. I want to tread softly. Thank you again.

Kimberleyrk, One of the best things for you (and your friend) to do is just to get involved on here. There is a group called Molly's Adopt a Sailor that does LOTS of good (and fun) things for our deployed troops. We adopt a different group each month, both on the sand and in the sea!
Grapevine - is that near D/FW?

This is my first time here, and I am honored. My best friend's son is being deployed to Afghanistan in March. I think my best friend is very depressed and I want to help her. Can you please advise me of any support groups in the Grapevine/Southlake metroplex? Thank you.
