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."

Proud Wife, I couldn't have said it better myself. My sr is on ship 3 but your words of encouragement mean so much to all of us. I still have several weeks to go yet but I am so excited. My son is my SR. and I miss him everyday but I am so proud of him for his commitment to a better future. It has been hard for me as a mom and for my son who has never been away from home but the end result will be worth it. I too look forward to Thursdays so I can a letter from him. I will continue to use this site after graduation since it has been a god send to me. Congratulations on your husbands upcoming PIR. I know you are so excited to see him. Enjoy and cherish every minute of the day and the time you get to spend with him.
