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."

That is really cool!! I downloaded all four pictures and posted them on my facebook, he wants me to save them so he can get them when he gets home. His first package goes out today, it's actually heavy, I hope the international weight limit does not count for military.

nalashome: It was a live feed camera, I am trying now to locate a video I can attach here. It left yesterday at 11 am est. Im on the east coast, so we watched it yesterday afternoon (I took a late lunch hour).
I have the address for the squadron, so if anyone needs it please private message me and i will give it to you.
This is my sons first deployment also. I feel better now that they are on their way, and I have started my countdown until they get back home! I mailed his first package on Monday, also, hoping he can get it by the holidays!!
