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 am do anxious as well. Went today and had a sign made since I am not artistic. My son called me yesterday and he is getting excited as well. He is looking forward to their next port. I think he wants off the ship onto some dry land , something that is not rocking and rolling!!!! I get butterflies knowing it is such a short time to that hug!!

Getting really excited now!!!

Can't wait to see that ship come in! We're in the home stretch finally!!!!!!! I think my daughter in law is making signs - but I'm not sure I'll be able to hold the sign and take pictures and watch for my son all at the same time! Somehow I have a feeling the "watch for my son" part is going to win out.

Hi everyone, I will also be "smothering" my son and I think he will actually like it even if he won't admit it. I have gotten emails and texts from him. Texted me today a Happy V Day...I was so touched..and he is starting a count down...24 days!!! He told me they showed them the families on base making signs for their homecoming. I am going to check into getting him a banner made. If not I will make a sign when I get to Florida.
To Kmarie - I also heard about the candlelight vigil and am awaiting the email about the outcome of the meeting. Also if you come up with a meet and greet, we would be interested if we can make it with getting there and all. Will be coming to Jacksonville on Friday. Please keep us informed.

Jenmack I won't laugh at all. I think the sailors will be laughing at their colleagues. Also, I did get an email from my son today. So emails should be working.
