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."

Congrats to you and your sailor! I bet that call was very exciting! Just remember you have had to be strong too, and you are graduating from your own personal journey this week as well and will enter a new phase of Navy life. May God bless you and keep you safe on your journey.

Jessica, that totally rocks! Enjoy your trip to Great Lakes for his PIR. There is nothing like it. One year ago, I didn't have a husband graduating from boot camp; it was my son. I have never in my whole life felt more pride. You will LOVE the ceremony, and I hope you have a terrific weekend with your new Sailor!

AWW.. its is an amazing thing to watch bring lots of tissues you will need them. I can say the graduation is the best thing I have ever watched to see all them girls and guys walk in you can just see on their face how proud they are! I loved it..Just remember the taffic taking them back is pretty bad my husband had to get out and walk back to make it there in time and we lefted an hour early so it would prolly be best to leave really early to take him back and spend the rest of the time on the base...
