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."

Getting through phase one
I want to express my feelings but there is so much going on right now and I want to honor my son when my mind is a bit clearer. My son, Matthew James Bergman, will forever be the beat of my heart and my reason to believe in everything that is good and honorable. I hope everyone will bear with me as we endure his loss and I appreciate everyone who is offering support in this great time of need.
God Bless,
Melody Paxton

I am so sorry for you! I lost my daughter to cancer when she was 15 years old and at least I had time to prepare myself for losing her. Losing a child is never easy no matter how,but the not knowing has got to be the worst! If I can help you cope with the loss of your precious son please feel free to reach out to me. Thinking of you now and always.

My prayers go out to you while you are trying to work through all of this. I lost 2 brothers unexpectedly but I know it is nothing compared to losing one of your own. I totally agree with Lisaladybug5. Nothing makes it easier. We are here for you whenever you are ready.
