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."

- You know what... you have chosen to volunteer your life to serve. You COULD be in college living like a typical kid. You chose instead to give your life away. I'm glad your life is good right now because one day... somewhere down the line..., it might be your life ON THE LINE. Daily I pray for you to be illness and injury free. Daily I pray for your protection, come what may. I love you. And also I respect your decision. But it may not always be this easy. So enjoy my son. Have good days. AND stay close to God, from whom all blessings flow.

I used to live in Pensacola during the 1980's and it's a very nice place to live. Pensacola Beach is beautiful so I'm glad your son is enjoying it.

It's a good thing I read the comment on your profile page; otherwise, I would have thought you were being sarcastic. Good luck to you and your sailor.

No I was simply encouraging him to ENJOY his life. That, in my opinion, he deserves these good days:) And it's important to stay grateful. He has made us nothing but proud and I celebrate the fact that he is loving life right now.
Not knowing the history, or the personality of the people, can certainly leave blogs up for misinterpretation. I can see how you might have read that. Given that I knew he had just spent the day at the mall, buying fun stuff, I wanted to reaffirm what a big thing he has done.

You have every right to be proud and happy. We all feel the same no matter the age of our sons/daughters when they reach a milestone.
