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."

OMG!! Your son sounds so much like my son. He just graduated high school in and is now suddenly gone. I have cried & cried & been so nervous & depressed. I'm like you, I'm fine @ work because I stay so busy but when I get home all I see are his pictures everywhere. He also left his room a total mess, it always is. Lol Haven't brought myself enough courage to go clean it yet :( If you would like to talk more please keep writing. I'm new at this too. My son has been gone a week today .

Hi everyone. My son left yesterday, June 26th. He just called from RTC saying he arrived. Feeling anxious for him and sad and worried, I had to LOL at hlander's comment that your son left his room a total mess.... my son left his a mess too. I'm thinking on my days off from work I'll clean his room and feel like I'm doing something for him while he's at boot camp. Looking forward to his next phone call and letters when allowed. Prayers for us all!
