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."

I look forward so much to meeting you all in person someday. He's going to be fine, knowing you're always there to back him up.

Good for all of you to be involved here! Hopefully a lot will be able to do the Tiger Cruise. And Hawaii, oh my. We lived there for two years when my son was a toddler.
