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."

Did Bery know Caleb???
Thanks so much for your thoughts and support.. I wrote your # down. The only people I talk to about this is my best friend, my mom and his grandfather(on other side of family). I hope he calls today. I read that they usually get to call on sundays in the FIT program. Please have fun with your sailor and hold him til he squeals!! That's what mom's are for. When Caleb gets to come back home I'm going to parade him around like a newborn!!!

I get into town approx 6 so will be a little late getting to event. Alsoyou need to RSVP to it--they have several listed, make sure you get right one!!
