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 read your other son is at Miramar. We lives in San Diego for 8 years. My husband was stationed at Miramar before it became a marine base. We loved it there!

Hi Fitz Moms!
While our sailors are underway, even when in a foreign port, they are very busy. Access to Internet may be intermittent. If you get messages while they are underway, you are very fortunate. We are here for each other while they are at sea.

So nice to hear your great news KatK! I can imagine how happy you are - especially being in the same time zone. :) Thanks for all your help and please stay in touch. Yes, I have to agree with you, the Fitz is the best destroyer of the 7th Fleet! :)
