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."

Since my son is in 188 and a EM nuke, maybe he is one of the guys that your son is friends with.  We got a phone call today too.  My son is hoping their BS score will hold up as the best and they will get to carry a special E-Battle Flag into PIR.  Can't wait to see them.

congrats back to you too.  I think it is great they got it over with first.  Now they can relax a bit hopefully.

What is your son's name?  I'm in the process of writing Matt a letter and will let him know that we found each other on N4M.  Sorry to hear that he is sick too -- can imagine all the germs that get spread around in the barracks with such tight living quarters.

My son's name is Matt.  He is one of my identical twin boys and the last one to leave home as well.  The empty nest has it's advantages.  We have 2 dogs so are doing agility training with them now that the kids are all grown.  It will be an adventure these next two years.
