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."

A little about me:
I am a single mom of three grown boys. I am currently unemployed and going back to school. My life is now changing daily with all the new trials that are presenting themselves. I pray that the choice that my youngest son has made will be all the he expects, but I fear that it will be more than he expected. I love my boys very much and they have been my whole life up until now. Along with all the positive changes comes great fear.
I am here to support my

Thank you so much for the leads. After 16 months of Wes's intense training and workouts he is really going to do this. His two week notice will be given soon at work. He is meeting with his recruiter Tuesday for testing and from there?..After his visit to a close friend in SanDiego he has never been more determined for anything. His friend Andrew is a Seal and I have read quite a few of the sends from Andrew and watched the Seal DVD's and am in awe. Hope to be as strong as he is in my heart and head. God Bless.

Gratefully, Lori
