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."

Almost time
Well we are 14 day away from my son leaving for BC... the days seem to be flying by. So far we are all doing good on the outside, his dad told me today that I was going to see the big baby he was when he has to say goodbye, the thought is killing me. We are so proud of our son all the different emotions are weird. He is spending alot of time with his little brother going to the zoo and the movies and stuff. I really am trying not to think about it alot. I am going with him tommrow to his DEP meeting going to try and figure out what all will happen before he leaves. I am very thankful for this site I am learning alot and I know I am not alone.

My son left on July 25. The days before flew so fast. We were all ok until the airport. Its so hard, I could not catch my breath. Felt like a hole in my heart but now I am doing better. I see him in my dreams. We have the box from fed ex and the form letter saying he is there. I have not had a phone call at all. :( But the box and letter are making me feel better. Thank goodness we have a large family and school is about to start so I am thinking of all these things and not just Darren. Good luck Take a lot of pics. Would like to friend you.
