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."

looking at the sites for the plan
well michael and i were looking at somethings we could do together after he graduates from boot camp. im hoping we will have at least one day together before a school my fingers are crossed i know it is still a long way away until he leaves the graduates, but i use to think that way about high school graduation and it is now around the corner. if he stays on task he may graduate bc around oct and six flags is still open really hoping we can go then he has the see the new resident evil movie coming out in sept. then he wants a huge steak so hopefully we will have this time together before a school and if we dont we will always figure something out like we always do.

My son said a bunch of us, Mom's, Dad's & Sailors are going to take the train to Downtown Chicago, ALL eat a nice lunch together, then go SHOP TILL WE DROP! lol Actually my son is DYING to go to Niketown! he is NOT a NewBalance fan, and THAT is ALL he could wear at bootcamp! He also wants BOXERS!!! HATES the whitey tighties! lol ...So, not sure if you found anything fun to do..but Chicago is not far, and it's a LOT of fun! My son & I actually used to fly into Midway, and take the train to Chicago a LOT when he was younger. It's a FUN, pretty cheap thing to do! (we're from the Detroit area) So, I am looking forward to doing that tomorrow! Hope you have a WONDERFUL day with YOUR Sailor!
