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."

Well, my son just call. He landed sooner than we thought but now he has a three hour bus ride to Yokosuka. He said everything is going fine. Can't wait for him to get to base so we can talk on Skype and he can tell us all about it.

Thanks. He is on the plane now and should be landing by 0400 CDT. He is assigned to a ship---the USS Shiloh. He is a Personnel Specialist. Glad to hear that everyone is friendly there. Blondie, I don't think Navy Strong is in our dictionary but I think it is some that happens to us Moms when you survive Boot Camp, A School and now an overseas deployment. This Navy life that our sons and daughters have chosen "ain't for sissies"!
