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."

I know exactly how you feel my son leaves on Mon. It has been 3 weeks since we found out when he leaves. It seems like you wait and wait and then all of a sudden it is here. Your not sure if you are suppose to party or spend every minute with him to savor the moments you have left.

I cry everytime I read your blog. I feel your heartache tremendously. My son has 3 months to go and it's agonizing. I don't know what to plan in this last months. Do we celebrate his 21st b-day since he won't be here for that? How about Thanksgiving and Christmas? He leaves a week before Thanksgiving. How did you do it?
Always here for you anytime. Hang in there.

we were on our way to the recruiters office today and then to the hotel half an hour into our trip the recruiter called and said they gave him the wrong ship date. Now he leaves on the 16th of Aug. We get to do this all again in 2 weeks.
