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."

Hi ladies: I'm not going to lie.. it is very hard. My son left last Tues. for Great Lakes. We went to the swearing in ceremony, spent an hour with him at MEPS and had to say our goodbyes. I waited for the "call" and it arrived at 3 am the following morning. Plan on staying up most of the night. I had the phone in bed with me with the ringer on high. Just yesterday we got the "box". So, kid in a box without the kid. I saw the delivery guy drop it off on my porch and I just couldn't get the guts to bring it in. My husband came home and opened it. Everything he wore including underwear, socks, sneakers, cell phone, ipod and plane ticket were in it. We are now waiting for the form letter with his ship/division so we can start writing. Today has been 1 week and it seems like 1 year. So, like I said, it's very hard. The best advise someone gave to me is to keep busy and think how much your son/daughter will have grown from this experience once it is over! Laura
