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."

Yes, when your son comes home on leave, he pays for the ticket.  My daughter has flown home 3 times during her 3 years in Sasebo Japan and the cost has varied greatly, but it come out of her pocket.  Hope your son enjoys Japan.

Of course you can use the idea of the Zombie Christmas songs!  There are some classics.  Deck the Halls with part of Wally is always popular.  We Three Spleens is another big hit.  Okay, truth to tell they are all repulsive.  But from the moment my son signed his contract and got his ship date I have been collecting things that I thought might amuse, inspire or entertain during boot camp.  He hasn't mentioned the songs in his letters yet.  The RDCs are controlling the flow of the mail a little bit still I think.  They give them enough to keep them motivated but too little for them to actually think there is a world outside the gates.  It's all good.  He's learning how to be a sailor.  I'm learning how to be a Navy mom.

Just said he was ok and he will let me know how many people can come to graduation.

It had lots of info on it about graduation and what to do in case of emergency.  They also sent a brochure that listed hotels and some places to eat.    Also it gives you the password you need to print the gate pass
