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."

Congratulations! All the best to your son. My son just graduated Friday, 3/4. It was amazing and worth the loooong wait. Yes, the "I'm here call", the "Box", the "Form" letter, a call in week 3, and the "I'm a Sailor" call after Battlestations week 8. A proud, emotional journey and a graduation you won't soon forget. Keep us posted....we're right here if you need us. :)

Got a call (finally) after week 3. Everything is going good wit the exception of wisdom teeth pulling and having his in grown toe nails ripped out. But he's gettin through it and doing fine. I guess they don't get any news so he wanted to know what was going on in the world... Idda be alright mom's and dad's.
