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."

So sorry to have ignored your comment for so long. Since my other kids started back to school I've been super busy (I have a 9 year old who is homeschooled and a Senior in HS who isn't but is very demanding). My son left on the 16th of August. The crying bit has gotten better but is still randomly attacking. We got the first letter from him yesterday which brought all of that back. It must not be just me either because my hubby was teary when he finished reading the very short letter as well. Have you heard from your son yet?

My son joined DEP last year when he was 17. He is going into AECF and will be staying in Great Lakes for 18 months of school.
