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."

We just booked! We are going to do some Island hopping with our son. I pray that there are no surprise deployments while we are there. That would truly break my heart. I can't wait to see him!

Glad to hear our Sailors are heading home! Hope they enjoy their liberty in Japan!

@ Drews mom! P.S. Welcome to the Hopper family!

@ Drews mom -My son asked for a 3DS Handheld video game system. Also a Kindle or Kindle Fire would be a great gift if your son likes to read. An I-Pod if he does not currently have one. These items are small & will provide great entertainment when they are on deployment.
