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."

Counting down....
Counting down by days almost, my baby has been gone 5 weeks and in 3 more he no longer will be my little man, he become a man standing up for the freedom of his nation. Nothing can make me more proud of my son. He always has been a hard working student, stay out of trouble and achieving big things during his school time. I remember one time getting a letter in the mail stating one of his highschool teachers had nominated him for Merit in his Sophomore year and gave us the opportunity to see my babies photograph and name in a year book with the best students within the United States. Words cant say how proud we all are what he has become s far. I see myself searching the web on a daily basis if I can get to catch a glimps of him on any pictures RTC is posting and getting all info bout what he has gone through so far how his days might been. Im hoping to get another phone call today. Last Saturday was almost exact same time as when he had called the first time (not the 15 sec, Mom im here call). Hang in there ladies, once first couple weeks went by and received the box n the form letter, you see yourself busy in trying to get all done and situated for your SR's PIR and try see what you might be able to do and how spend his/her liberty together. so much to think of.
