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."

Definately a start.  Same with me.  I cried when I realized I missed the call and then it dawned on me that I did not delete the message and could keep it. LOL One of those emotional brain moments.

Im glad for you.  I still havent gotten a call but you are right no news is good news.  Another mom told me she got a call at 4:00 am this morning.  She said they forgot to let them call home.  Her son took the oath with my son.  Hope all is well

Doping ok Brandon has been txtng me off and on all day.  His last txt was at 6 or so central time and he was on his way to RTC just waiting for the call like you to hear his voice one last time.  Been a really emotional roller coaster day.
