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."

Thank you Cindy, I know he's got this lol, but as his mom it is hard to let go. my son just left to go run with his old football team. he has a long road of ahead of him after bootcamp and he is working to be more then ready for it. he has been in Sea cadets while in high school and excelled in it was even given a Meritorious award for running a mile down the train tracks to push a car off before the next train came. (had a mom and 3 kids in it) he had just come back from Sea cadets and had done swim quals and pt before leaving and when we seen the jeep stuck on a busy track he didnt blink he just took off running the mile down the track to get it off, to top it off it was mothers day what better gift for me as his mom to have him do such a thing for someone elses mom. I can tell you I will miss him greatly when he leaves for boot camp and all his training afterwards

A safe journey for your son. Proud indeed. Our son leaves January 4th. We're so happy that we at least have the holidays with him. We're still trying to figure out how to stop time! The best to your son and family. Happy holidays!

2boys1girl09 is a friend of mine from the San Francisco Bay Area. Her son has been in Sea Cadets as well. He signed a contract for SEAL and will go to BC after he graduates from high school. Recently he had a moment of doubt (I call it senoritis) but is OK now. Would you mind if she contacts you? I know she would love to kinda shadow you for awhile since your son is just about 6-7 months ahead of her. They both seem like outstanding young men to me. Thank him. Thank you.
