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 also want to thank Chopperdad. This was my son's first deployment as well. It has been an interesting venture as well as stressful. He is my only son, and I'm very proud of his decision to do this. 2010 has been very hard on me as I've had to adjust to "empty nest" as my daughter also ventured out on her own as well. I have felt SO lost without "my kids". At least I know my son is closer now. This has been a learning year for all of my family. Thanks for the pics. I wish I could be there, but ALL I can do is wish and send my love, thoughts, and prayers to my son.

Chopperdad,
My son is home and has to leave to go back to San Diego tomorrow morning. We have had a great week and a wonderful Christmas! I of course will miss him so much, but I can see such a change in him for the best, this time home. I wont worry as much anymore..so I say! (LOL)..Anyway, my son said, he thinks he knows your son. I sent the pic's you sent online to my facebook page and my son said he knows a guy that his dad was going on the cruise. My son said it was chopperdad. He said he thinks your son is Warrner. Case said ,Warrner slept above him in the bunk.Not sure if that is your kid..but what a small world if it is!
