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."

My son called me it was sooooooo nice!!!!! I just loved hearing his voice and he was so sweet!!! One of his friends brought a sim card for his cell phone and asked my son if he would like to use his phone to call me. Was that a nice guy or what???
Thats what I am talking about with this ship it is a family and everyone really has each others back. I was so excited when my son said he had to go I asked to speak to the man who let him use his phone I told him that was the nicest thing someone could do and if I could send money for the call he said no way we always help each other out. So I told his I am going to send an awesome goodie box and he can help him self.
I am on cloud nine it was so good to hear his voice but he was laughing and really sounded happy!!! What more could a mom ask for right...
Take care!!!!!

Always a joy to see the conversation on this site! Please call or email me if you ever need anything. I am attaching an article below entitled, "Things I Wish I Had The Courage To Say During Deployment." You don't have to necessarily agree with all she writes but I appreciated her honesty. Hope you enjoy!
