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."

I am a horried worrier!!! I'd like to say you get use to it because you don't.. you do learn how to cope.. the first couple deployments I had to take zanax, I was not doing well at all.. My Army son is planning on staying in.. He is actually on the fast track and just completed NCO school and goes in front of the promotion board next week I think.. he is also up for Soldier of the Quarter and was just selected for the east coast funderal detail. He will be getting his E5 Sgt. Not bad for a kid who's been in for less than 3 years.. he loves the Army..
