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."

Hi Sharon, Should have checked pictures before but your son and my son are very good friends. My son is sad that his two best buds are leaving the Fitz. I met your son when we were in Japan. You don't need to say where your son is going because I already know from mine. I hope that the boys keep in contact.

Thank you to all the Moms of the Fitz for the past year of feeling connected. My son is leaving the Fitz for training in the states and then assignment to a different ship. Thanks for your friendship and advice.
